British Airways Introduces Spend-Based Loyalty Program

British Airways has announced that on April 1st, 2025, it will modify its Executive Club loyalty program. Travelers will gain status points based on annual spending levels rather than distance traveled.

The carrier’s loyalty program will be rebranded as ‘The British Airways Club’. Members will earn one ‘tier point’ for every £1 ($1.24) of “eligible spend”, which includes the base fare, ancillaries (additional baggage, cabin upgrades, trip insurance, etc.), carrier-imposed charges, and contributions to ‘sustainable’ aviation fuel (SAF). Non-airline taxes and fees, such as airport charges and government taxes, do not earn points.
