What if you could combine your love of finance and all things intellectual, aka your Economist subscription, with an easy win to take you places. Surprise, you can. British Airways has a great new offer which allows you to earn 15,000 Avios, enough to get you round trip in economy in the US or Europe, just for taking out a £179 annual economist subscription for digital or print. £179 would be a great price for 15,000 easy Avios, but when you get the magazine subscription too, it’s fantastic.

This deal really couldn’t be any easier to take advantage of, and if you are an Economist reader, it’s a total no brainer.

Or for some, the Avios are just the bonus!

It’s important to note that Avios are awarded within 28 days, and most likely not instantly, so if you need more points tomorrow, this definitely isn’t the offer. If you’re saving up to book something somewhere after 28 days however, it may very well be…

  1. Can we cancel the subscription after we get the points and still get a refund (or partial refund) on the subscription?

    1. That wouldn’t seem fair, would it? You can of course cancel before renewal, but it wouldn’t be fair to cancel and basically steal Avios.
