Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Get 8,000 Avios for £150 of wine with a generous The Wine Flyer deal

The Wine Flyer, the Avios-run wine retailer, is running two bonus Avios offers simultaneously which you can stack.

If you qualify for it, you can earn 8,000 Avios with a £149.99. A £129.99 spend earns 6,500 Avios.

This deal partly ends TOMORROW so you need to move quickly.

To make the most of this deal you need access to two deals:

  • 4,000 bonus Avios for spending £149.99 at The Wine Flyer (or 2,500 Avios for spending £129.99) using code MAYBOOST – the expiry date is 7th June
  • 4,000 bonus Avios for spending £125+ at The Wine Flyer on your British Airways American Express Card – you MUST opt-in to this offer, it is not automatic – the expiry date for this is 1st July

You need to opt in to the American Express bonus via the ‘Offers’ page of the Amex app or website BEFORE making your purchase. Some people will not have the deal or will have a weaker version. You are looking for this:

How do you get the offer?

It’s easy enough. Head to The Wine Flyer website, put items costing at least £149.99 in your cart (UK delivery is free) and add code ‘MAYBOOST’. The extra 4,000 Avios will show immediately.

Remember to pay with the British Airways American Express card you registered for the 2nd 4,000 Avios offer. Because you are spending over £125 this bonus will trigger, with the 4,000 Avios being added to your next American Express statement.

In total, you are paying £150 for whatever wine you choose, delivered to your door, plus 8,000 Avios. 4,000 Avios will arrive immediately – plus the base Avios for your purchase – and the additional 4,000 Avios will come with your next American Express statement. You can’t argue with that.

If you want to combine both offers, I suggest you order ASAP because the MAYBOOST code expires on 7th June.

    Heads-up everyone: using multiple promo codes in addition to ‘MAYBOOST’ will risk bumping the higher value 4K bonus Avios off your order EVEN if it’s showing at checkout! Luckily I noticed and cancelled said ‘bumped’ order via WF’s webchat, hung head in despondence, and quickly re-ordered. Sipsmith’s in the bag too!
