British Airways regularly runs a promotion for 40% bonus Avios, which lets you score Avios for 1.64\u00a2 apiece. While a decent deal, that's still more than you'll spend to boost your Avios.<\/p>\n<p>If you have recent British Airways Club transactions and can boost your earnings by up to 3X, this offer is definitely worth considering. Not only because the rate is ideal, but boosting earnings by 300% can quickly increase your total Avios balance. Since it doesn't count toward the annual buy Avios limit, this promotion is also ideal for anyone who has already bought as many Avios as they can but are still short ahead of an upcoming redemption.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Other_Ways_to_Earn_British_Airways_Avios\">Other Ways to Earn British Airways Avios<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you need extra Avios before a redemption, you don\u2019t necessarily need to buy them.
