Read on to discover how to earn Avios on Wizz Air flights – or any other airline.
For us, Avios is our loyalty currency of choice because British Airways offers some decent redemption options. A return flight from London to Paris is just 18,500 Avios points (+£2).
Normally, Avios points can only be earned on airlines that are part of the oneworld alliance right? British Airways, American Airlines, Finnair, Iberia etc…
But there are two ways you can be disloyal and earn loyalty points. Which means you can earn Avios on Wizz Air flights (or Ryanair, Virgin Atlantic or any other airline you choose).
1. Pay for Wizz Air flights with American Express
Contents
The American Express Gold Rewards Card is a phenomenal addition to every traveller’s wallet. Aside from all the usual Amex benefits (free travel insurance for starters) is the ability to earn Reward Points on every single pound you spend. That’s right, £1 spend = 1 Reward Point.
The true value of Reward Points is their transferability. Every Amex Reward Point can be converted into one Avios point. So if you pay for your £29.99 Wizz Air ticket with Amex, you earn 30 Amex Reward Points.
Which can be quickly and easily converted into 30 Avios.
The Amex Gold Rewards card is free for the first year. And if you use our referral link, you’ll get 40,000 bonus points towards your first trip.
2. Pay for flights with Revolut Pay
Revolut is another essential for the traveller’s wallet, making it quick and easy to spend in any country across the world. Revolut operates like a pre-paid debit card, so you can load your local currency and spend in the local currency without having to visit a bank or bureau de change.
And because Revolut uses the interbank exchange rate, you get a lot more bang for your buck.
Less well known is the RevPoints perk, allowing you to earn Revolut’s own loyalty currency with every transaction. RevPoints are earned on an ‘up to’ 1:1 basis (on the Ultimate plan). So every £1 spend earns ‘up to’ 1 RevPoint. On the Metal plan (to which we subscribe) we earn 1 RevPoint for every £2 spent. Notably, RevPoints are paid in fractions, so we earn 0.25 points for £0.50 we spend.
But wait, there’s more! Wizz Air now accepts Revolut Pay for bookings made using their mobile app. This means that account holders can earn 10x the base rate by paying with their Revolut card.
A £29.99 Wizz Air flight earns 20 points per pound, a total of 419.8 RevPoints.
And just like Amex Reward Points, RevPoints can be swapped for Avios at a 1:1 rate. That is how you earn 419 Avios on a Wizz Air flight.
