Flash Deal: Boost your BA Executive Club Avios earned/transferred in 2024, by up to 4X

British Airways Executive Club members can usually boost Avios earned or transferred (from credit cards) in the last 30 days, by up to 3X.

This is one of my favourite ways to buy Avios, as shared in a recent article about my miles strategy for 2025.

Boost Avios 4X from 2024

From 30 Jan till 4 Feb 2025, members can boost Avios earned/transferred in the whole of 2024 (instead of the past 30 days), and up to 4X (instead of 3X).

However, keep in mind that Avios boosting costs a lot higher if the boosted amount exceeds 300,000 in a calendar year.

Cost of boosting Executive Club Avios

Cost of boosting British Airways Executive Club Avios depends on your account currency.

My account is in USD, and I am able to boost Avios for as little as 1.2 cents (USD) each, equivalent to 1.62 cents in SGD. A x4 boost through this offer has the same price as a x3 boost.

This is not as low as the recent Avios sale through Finnair Plus, but a good price nonetheless, especially if you redeem Avios for sweet spots (see next section).

As mentioned earlier, the cost gets much higher when boosting more than 300k Avios; avoid doing this!

Which cards have Executive Club as a transfer partner?

In Singapore, miles/points from Citibank and HSBC cards can be transferred to Executive Club with a good conversion ratio (OCBC has a poor ratio, AMEX doesn’t have any good miles/rewards card).
