Buy Finnair Avios with a 40% Discount
Buy Finnair Avios at 40% discount, for cheap business and first class redemptions.
Finnair has just announced a rather lucrative deal for those looking to stock up on Avios. For a limited time, you can buy Finnair Avios with a 40% discount. “But Finnair doesn’t even fly to Australia,” I hear you say. That’s irrelevant, my friends. Since Finnair is now part of the Avios loyalty programme, you can easily transfer your points to British Airways or Qatar Airways. For example, a Qatar Airways saver fare (if you can find it) from Australia to Europe would cost you 90,000 Avios. Under this promotion, that works out to €1,188 + taxes and fees to fly Qatar Airways in business class. Pretty good!
This time around, Finnair is excluding new accounts from the sale, limiting it to those who joined before Jun2 2nd 2025. There's also a minimum balance required of 500 points. This is easy to achieve since you can instantly transfer British Airways Avios to Finnair Avios and British Airways Avios aren an American Express Membership Rewards transfer partner.
Finnair Promotion Details
Buy at least 5,000 Avios or more to get a discount. The discount structure is tiered as follows:
Finnair Avios Discount rates:
- 5,000–19,000 = 25%
- 20,000–49,000 = 30%
- 50,000–74,000 = 35%
- 75,000 or more = 40%
To buy the full amount of 200,000 Avios, you will spend €2,520, which is slightly more than the best possible British Airways Avios subscription (one of the best deals on the market).
Tip:
Most credit cards will attract a 3% surcharge, instead use something like the fee free debit card from Ubank (which currently comes with a $30 sign up bonus)
When Does It End?
Transactions must be completed between 16 June (00:00:01 EEST) and 30 June (23:59:59 UTC EEST) 2025 to earn the discount.
How Many Points Can I Buy?
Finnair Plus members can purchase for themselves or as a gift a maximum of 200,000 Avios in the calendar year. The combined maximum amount of Avios that a member can buy or receive is 200,000 Avios per calendar year.
Any Other Reasons to Buy?
Obviously, Finnair is part of the oneworld alliance, so you can spend your points on any oneworld partner airline (such as Qantas). Finnair also operates long haul flights between Europe and Asia, with plenty of award space available at excellent rates to Singapore and Bangkok.
Summing Up
This is a pretty compelling offer but not as good as the previous 50% discount! As always, I don’t recommend buying points speculatively unless you have use for them in the immediate future. You can buy Finnair Avios here.
