BA Avios subscriptions

Have they emailed their current subscribers ? I haven't received anything

Nothing from them so far. Maybe that's a good sign...

No I haven’t received any communication either. I just read this article in HFP.

British Airways raises the cost of Avios subscriptions sharply

British Airways Executive Club is increasing the cost of Avios Subscriptions sharply, making the value proposition look more marginal. Let's do the maths.

My understanding is that after May 1st all monthly subscrptions will go up ( including current ones ).The only way to avoid this increase is to pay for a yearly subscription before May 1st.

The price will not go up if you've subscribed before 1 May 2023.

From a different page of the BA website:

SUBSCRIPTION PRICES ARE CHANGING
Planning on subscribing? If you do it before 1 May 00:01 BST, the price will stay the same throughout your subscription. The price change depends on the currency.

From a different page of the BA website:

Well that’s good news, and accounts for the lack of communication to current subscribers.
But once the subscription ends, is it still worthwhile ?

I've got the Adventurer yearly subscription in November last year. Wonder if I can pre-purchase another annual year and lock in existing pricing.

BA “household“ accounts, my friends

Leverage this subscription (and others like The Economist) with up to 7 different accounts. Of course that means they’re all limited by the BA Avios redemption charts, taxes and Availability - QR doesn’t offer household accounts.

I believe you are already on a subscription, albeit yearly, and it automatically renews each year. T&Cs: https://pgt.shopping.ba.com/subscription

It's not 100% clear to me whether existing subscriptions will renew next year at the old or new pricing, but I suspect it's the old pricing based on the current wording on the BA website.

It doesn't say it maintains legacy pricing though? I'm preparing to pay the new subscription price.

Does anyone have a May or June renewal coming up? We should find out relatively quickly!

I do in may

Again , I have not received an email regarding the increase that impacts my subscription.

Let’s just wait and see what happens .

I wonder if we log in after 1-May the price will reflect the new pricing model though?

Someone said ( above ) the changes to pricing is for new subscriptions only . Are you reading something to the contrary ?

 

[MalcolmS]

I have an Adventurer pack and just checked the subscription details. They're just as they used to be "billed at GBP1,789 pa". So, does this mean that that price is locked in for my next renewal, or that it's the price for this year and it'll go up on renewal in December? Anyone got a renewal in the next few weeks who could confirm what will happen?

 

[JayTee]

No , I didn’t get an update .

Can you change your subscription to a higher one if you’d like more avios
