Increased Welcome Bonuses for All Three Avios Credit Cards

125,000 Bonus for Three Avios Credit Cards

There are several airlines that use the Avios program and Chase offers Avios credit cards for three of them: British Airways, Iberia and, Aer Lingus. Now all three cards have increased welcome offer with a bonus of up to 125,000 Avios. But these increased offers also come with a much higher spending requirement. let’s see the details.

The Offers

Here are the details of the bonus and annual fee for all three cards:

• Earn 75,000 Avios after you spend $5,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of account opening.
• Plus earn an additional 50,000 Avios after you spend $20,000 within the first 12 months of account opening.
• $95 annual fee

And here are the direct links to apply for these bonuses:

• • British Airways Card
  • Iberia Card
  • Aer Lingus Card

Regardless of which card you apply for, you can transfer Avios between all three programs. The only catch is that your accounts must have been open for at least 90 days.

Card Highlights

The earning rates are the same on all three cards:

• 3x Avios for every $1 spent on purchases with British Airways, Aer Lingus, and Iberia
• 2x Avios for every $1 spent on hotel accommodations when booked directly with the hotel
• 1x Avios for every $1 spent on all other purchases.

The differences between the cards are in some of the perks they offer:

• British Airways Card
  • 10% off flights starting in the US
  • Up to $600 Reward Flight Statement Credits
  • Earn a Travel Together Ticket every calendar year you make $30,000 in purchases on your British Airways credit card. Valid for two years
• Iberia Card
  • 10% off Iberia flights
  • Every calendar year you make $30,000 in purchases, you receive a $1,000 Iberia flight discount voucher to use toward two tickets on the same flight
• Aer Lingus Card
  • Priority boarding on Aer Lingus flights to and from the United States.
  • Earn a Travel Together Ticket every calendar year you make $30,000 in purchases on your Aer Lingus credit card. Valid for two years

Conclusion

While this is a big bonus, it also comes with large spending requirement of $20,000 within the first year. If you plan to apply for any of the three 125K offers, then check the benefits of each card and decide which one best suits your needs.

But it’s worth looking at other options from Chase, or even other credit card issuers, as you can get better welcome bonus if you can spend $20,000.
