What is speedy awarding?
Speedy awards allow us to give you your Avios in five days rather than the current 35 day standard for non-travel retailers.
Which retailers offer speedy awards?
The retailers you can get a speedy award from can be easily identified as they have the ‘speedy icon’. From time to time the selection of retailers might change so make sure you look out for the icon while browsing.
Why do I earn faster/quicker with some retailer than others?
We have chosen a selection of some our most popular retailers to qualify for speedy awarding. This means you will earn Avios much faster than usual when making qualified purchases with these retailers. Not all retailers are speedy awarding, so make sure you look out for the speedy icon while browsing the eStore.
Why has my speedy awarding purchase not been approved within 5 days?
If we notice any unusual activity in your account or your purchases pattern, we might require further investigation prior to approving your purchase.
What about returns or changes to my transaction?

It’s the Retailers who decide the level of Avios given for shopping with them. Be sure to check out how many Avios the retailer offers before completing your purchase.
Why have I earned more or less Avios with same Retailer?
Avios rates can go up or down, and some retailers may offer bonus Avios offers from time to time. The current earning rate is always displayed on British Airways Avios eStore so remember to look at the current rate to know how many Avios you’ll earn.

If you cancel a purchase after Avios have been posted to your Executive Club account, we reserve the right to deduct such Avios from your account.
