Bonus 1000 Avios for new Avios and BAEC transfers.

There's a small bonus on offer from both Avios and British Airways Executive Club. Between now and 21st November 2016 you can earn at least 1000 Avios if you make a ‘new' transfer.

A few VERY important things to note:

• There are different terms and conditions for the Avios and BAEC promotions. Most of it does overlap but you will need to check carefully for yourself.
• Avios Household accounts can only earn the bonus once (regardless of number of members), but each member of a BAEC household account can earn his own bonus.
• A ‘new' transfer means a method you have not done in the previous 12 months, so you will need to find for yourself what the most suitable method is.
• Earning from flying is grouped into one earning method, even if you fly different airlines.
• These methods are specifically excluded: Purchase, Gift or Transfers of Avios, Survey Partners (E-rewards, Reward for Thoughts, Survey Sampling International), Member Get Member (MGM) referrers, Shell Drivers’ Club, Avios awarded for refer a friend

If you can team up all the members in a household account, this has the potential to earn you 9000 Avios to use across the account. That's enough for a one way Business Class or a round-trip economy fare to anywhere in a 650 mile radius.

For me, I will probably use the e-store and Gate 365 to trigger both bonuses as I have not used them in ages. Looking at possible retailers, buying a cheap song on iTunes will probably do the trick!

The Terms and Conditions are here, but reproduced below with my own bolding.
