Get a 30% bonus between HSBC Rewards and British Airways Executive Club!

You can transfer HSBC Rewards points to three airline partners, including the British Airways Executive Club.

Under normal circumstances, you can convert 25,000 HSBC Rewards points – earned with the HSBC World Elite^® Mastercard^® – into 10,000 Avios miles.

So it’s like you’ve earned :

• 2.4 Avios miles per dollar for your travel purchases
• 1.2 Avios miles per dollar for your other purchases

This is already a decent conversion rate and one of the best uses of HSBC Rewards points.

Once or twice a year, HSBC Rewards runs a promotion to convert your points into Avios miles, with a 30% to 40% bonus. The last class was in July 2021. Then there were others in November 2020, November 2019 and June 2019.

From June 1 to June 30, 2022, you can convert your HSBC Rewards points to Avios points with a 30% conversion bonus. It’s like you’ve earned:

• 3.12 Avios miles per dollar for your travel purchases
• 1.56 Avios miles per dollar for your other purchases

This is a great return you can get with your HSBC Rewards points.

For example, the last promotion was in July 2021 and it was 40%. I was able to make this conversion:

And I got 14,000 Avios miles that showed up 48 hours later in my British Airways Executive Club account, that’s a 40% bonus:

Avios miles are especially useful for booking award tickets in :

• North America for American Airlinesflights
• Europe for British Airways or Iberia flights
• Australia for flights with Qantas
• Asia for flights with Cathay Pacific or Japan Airlines
• Between North America and Europe with Aer Lingus
• Between Europe and the Middle East with Qatar Airways

Or treat yourself to the luxury of British Airways First Class on specific routes.

We personally used them in Australia, during our world tour with our family. Thanks to the Avios, we were able to save money on many domestic flights, especially to Uluru.

In addition, since March 22, 2022, Qatar Airways accepts Avios. With this, you can afford the luxury of traveling in a Qsuite!
