Passengers travelling to and from the Isle of Wight with Red Funnel can now collect Avios on their ferry bookings, earning 3 Avios for every £1 spent on eligible travel.
The ferry operator has joined the Avios ‘Shop with Brands’ network, opening up a new way for members of The British Airways Club to collect the reward currency when travelling across the Solent.
The new partnership, announced earlier this week (Wednesday), applies to Red Funnel’s vehicle ferry service between Southampton and East Cowes and its Red Jet Hi-Speed passenger service between Southampton and West Cowes.
Members can collect 3 Avios for every £1 spent on eligible Red Funnel travel.
However, passengers must begin their booking through Avios Shop Online via the Avios website or app to collect the points.
Customers can search for Red Funnel, select the retailer and then click through to Red Funnel’s website, where the booking and payment are completed as normal.
Avios will then be credited on eligible bookings.
IAG Loyalty, the organisation behind Avios, says the addition gives members another opportunity to collect points on UK travel, including Isle of Wight holidays and trips to visit friends and family.
Red Funnel is the latest company to join the ‘Shop with Brands’ network, through which members can collect Avios when making purchases with participating retailers.
For example, an eligible Red Funnel booking costing £100 would collect 300 Avios at the advertised rate of 3 Avios per £1 spent.
Passengers wishing to collect points should visit www.avios.com/en-GB/collect-avios/shopping/retailers/ before making their Red Funnel booking.
