WorldPoints, the loyalty programme for passengers shopping at Heathrow and BAA’s other five UK airports is partnering with British Airways to enable members to redeem points for BA Miles.

WorldPoints members will now receive one WorldPoint for every £1 ($1.64) they spend in shops, bars, restaurants and car parks, with each point redeemable for one BA mile. This new reward partner is in addition to the other benefits offered by the WorldPoints programme, including discounts on car parking and Heathrow Express bookings and airport shopping vouchers.

James Hillier, British Airways Executive Club Manager says: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with WorldPoints offering our customers the opportunity to earn BA Miles on virtually all airport spending.”

John Holland Kaye, Commercial Director, says: “We’ve listened to WorldPoints cardholders and worked hard to ensure they get the kind of rewards they deserve. We’re delighted to welcome British Airways on board as a new partner and are confident that this will continue to make passengers’ journeys even more rewarding.”

Passengers can collect WorldPoints on purchases from around 600 airport outlets, with over 150 different participating brands.
