Transfer Amex Points to British Airways Avios with a 40% Bonus

Up until last week Amex points converted to British Airways Avios at a ratio of 1,000:800. That changed to 250:250 and now you can transfer Amex Points to British Airways Avios with a 40% bonus. That means from last week to today the transfer ratio is up by 75%. This is an incredible value and the offer is available until September 17, 2017. Another great aspect of this offer is that transfers from Amex to Avios are instant. Once you find availability on your desired flight, you can transfer points instantly without fear of availability running out.

British Airways uses a distance based award chart. Which means that the cost of an award is based on the distance that you fly.

Here is the award chart for British Airways

Keep in mind; partner flights within North America from 1 to 650 miles price at the 651 to 1,150 price level. So Zone 1 prices are not available for partner flights within North America.

As you can see, short haul flights can offer an incredible value. And  that value is maximized for short haul flights outside of North America since Zone 1 prices are super low compared to all other award costs on other airlines.

This is a great use of your points earned through the Platinum Card from American Express, the Business Platinum American Express Card and the Business Gold Rewards Card.
