Head for Points

Head for Points began as a personal project by Rob Burgess in 2012, driven by his wish to create a magazine filled with news and insights that actual business travelers in the UK would find valuable. Unlike typical business travel publications, which often cater to those in the travel industry, our focus is on real travelers and their needs. We aimed to offer a fresh perspective.

    News in brief:Avios has a partnership with Uber in the UK which allows you to earn 1 Avios per £1 spent on UK rides. It also pays out on train tickets booked via the Uber app. This HfP article explains how the Avios / Uber promotion works. Whilst this has not been widely promoted, the deal has now been extended to cover Ireland. Anyone with a British Airways Club number in their Uber account will now also earn on Irish rides. The reason for this is that Aer Lingus has just become an Uber partner too.

    This is our review of the Nectar Credit Card from American Express. In January 2021, Avios and Nectar launched a partnership. You can transfer Nectar points into Avios – and vice versa – which means that this credit card is of interest to Avios collectors. It is part of our series of articles looking at the major UK loyalty credit cards and discussing whether of not they are worth applying for. These posts are linked to the relevant sections of the ‘Credit Cards Offers‘ area in the menu bar.
