If you’re a British Airways American Express cardholder, there’s a limited-time offer that could help you get closer to your next holiday — or even a visit to loved ones — for almost no effort.
The offer
Until 25 August, Amex is offering a 9,000 Avios bonus when you add your first complimentary supplementary cardholder to your British Airways Amex account.
Normally, this bonus is just 1,000 Avios, so it’s a generous uplift — and it’s incredibly simple to claim.
What you need to do
- Log in to your Amex account and apply for a supplementary card using this dedicated link.
- Add someone you trust — a partner, adult child, or even yourself (just keep the card as a spare for emergencies).
- That’s it. There’s no spending required on the supplementary card.
What’s the catch?
- This offer only applies to the first supplementary card added to your account.
- If you already have one issued, you unfortunately won’t qualify.
- The 9,000 Avios may arrive in two parts — first 1,000, then 8,000.
What can 9,000 Avios get you?
British Airways Reward Flights start from 9,250 Avios + 50p one-way on off-peak dates.
That means with just a small top-up of 250 Avios, you could book a flight to Europe.
Popular destinations include:
- Paris
- Amsterdam
- Berlin
- Milan
- Geneva
It’s an ideal way to plan a quick break or make the most of your retirement time — for very little out-of-pocket cost.

Final thoughts
This is a quick win for BA Amex cardholders who haven’t added a supplementary card before. There’s no risk, no fee, and no spending requirement — just a simple way to make your points go further.
📅 Offer ends 25 August. If you’re eligible, it’s well worth the five-minute application.
