Link everything

⚡ Quick answer
- Link your apps to your British Airways account before anything else. It's free.
- Uber, Nectar, Heathrow Express, Heathrow Rewards, Club Avolta and TodayTix all pay Avios.
- Buy Heathrow Express tickets from the BA page, or you get nothing.
Before any card, link your accounts. It’s free, it takes 10 minutes, and after that you collect points without thinking about it 🧘.
