Via The Points Guy, British Airways will extend the discount for 10% off round-trip British Airways flights to folks who have the Chase British Airways Visa Signature Card.
This is a fantastic perk of the card, and an easy way to save money!
Plus, you can stack the 10% off with the AARP British Airways discount to save even more! I’ll explain!
What’s the Deal?

Link: Chase British Airways 100,000 Point Offer
If you purchase British Airways flights, the Chase British Airways card is worth adding to your wallet.
That’s because Chase cardmembers get 10% off British Airways flights. And, British Airways has extended the discount for flights departing through December 31, 2016. That’s great news!
And right now there’s a fantastic sign-up bonus on the card of a total of 100,000 British Airways Avios points.
You’ll also get:
- 3 British Airways Avios points per $1 you spend on British Airways purchases
- 1 British Airways Avios point per $1 you spend on everything else
- Earn a Travel Together Ticket (your companion flies with you on a British Airways award flight for just the cost of taxes and fees) when you spend $30,000 on the card in a calendar year
- No foreign transaction fees
The $95 annual fee is NOT waived for the 1st year. But it’s worth it for British Airways Avios points, even if you don’t want to earn the full sign-up bonus!
Discount Terms
There are a few things to keep in mind when using the discount:
- Flights must be round-trip
- Flights must be operated by British Airways or OpenSkies
- Use promotion code “CARDOFFERU” to get the discount
- Discount is off the total cost of the fare including taxes, fees, and carrier charges
- Travel in any cabin of service
Plus, you can purchase up to 8 tickets for friends and family members, as long as they’re on the same flight! That could really add up!
Sweeten the Deal by “Retiring” Early
Link: AARP British Airways Discounts
Link: Join AARP
Anyone can join AARP for $16! You do NOT have to be retired or over 50.Once you’re a member, you’ll get AARP discounts on British Airways flights to Europe.
You’ll save:
- $65 for round-trip coach flights
- $130 for round-trip Premium Economy flights
- $400 for round-trip Business Class or First Class flights
Note that flights must be Trans-Atlantic. You can book these flights through October 31, 2016.
To see how much I could save, I selected round-trip coach flights from New York to London in March 2016. The flights were ~$746 without discounts.
But when I shopped through AARP, then applied the 10% promotion code, the price dropped to ~$642 – a savings of over $100!
Combine With British Airways Sales to Save Big on Business Class
I found round-trip Business Class flights between New York and London in December and January for ~$1,981 after the $400 AARP discount was applied.
Then, when I applied promotion code “CARDOFFERU“, the price dropped by ~$198 (10%) to ~$1,783! Terrific savings!
If you purchase 1 flight per year, you could easily off-set the $95 annual fee on the Chase British Airways card AND the AARP $16 membership fee!
Plus, you can earn a total of 100,000 British Airways Avios points with the the Chase British Airways card. Check out my guide on how to book British Airways Awards like a pro to see where you can go!
Bottom Line
Folks with the Chase British Airways card can get 10% off British Airways flights through December 31, 2016.
This is a great perk of the card, so I’m glad they decided to extend it!
You can travel in any cabin of service, but flights must be round-trip and operated by British Airways or OpenSkies. Use promotion code “CARDOFFERU” to get the discount when you check-out.
You can get additional discounts on British Airways flights when you join AARP for $16 a year.
