Some business credit card providers allow you to earn reward points on your card spending that you can redeem for Avios. With a Capital on Tap Business Rewards Credit Card, you can earn 1 point for every £1 spent. Each point can be redeemed for 1 Avios.

What are Avios and what can they be used for? 

Avios is the reward currency of the British Airways Executive Club. You can spend your Avios for travel rewards such as:

• Flights;

• Cabin upgrades; 

• Hotel stays;

• Car hire and more.

For more information on how to spend your Avios, visit British Airways Executive Club website here.

Can Avios expire?

Your Avios stay in your British Airways Executive Club account, as long as you collect, spend, purchase or share at least one Avios every 36 months - any longer and your Avios will expire.  

How can my business benefit from Avios? 

Avios is a great reward for personal benefit. Even if your Avios have been collected on business spend, they can still be spent for personal experiences like holidays, flights or hotel stays which can offer a great incentive for business owners. 

If you have large business expenses that are usually paid for by credit card, it’s worth finding a card provider that offers the opportunity to earn Avios.

This can benefit your business if you do a lot of business travel as you can enjoy discounted flights and hotel stays. 

Can I collect Avios with Capital on Tap?
