  • Acquisition Offer Terms and Conditions

    Customers who apply for and are accepted for an Absa British Airways Visa Credit Card will be eligible for a 9 000 Avios bonus. 5 000 Avios will be awarded on the first qualifying card transaction and a further 4 000 Avios will be awarded if you spend R24 000 during the first three months on Qualifying Expenditure on the Absa British Airways Visa Credit Card. Please note, the first months spend starts from the date your account was opened not the date you receive your card so you may not get a full calendar month to spend. The Avios will be awarded within eight weeks of the qualifying spend being achieved.
    Qualifying expenditure means all expenditure using an Absa British Airways Visa Credit Card excluding balance transfers, cash advances, and amounts billed more than once in whole or in part for the relevant period, delinquency charges, annual fees and interest. The Avios will not be awarded if the goods purchased under the qualifying spend are returned.
    Customers will only be eligible for one joining bonus from British Airways. In the event that a customer re-applies for the Absa British Airways Visa Credit Card, Absa may process an application and issue the British Airways Visa Credit Card but British Airways will not award a further bonus offer.
