Buying miles and points can represent a great deal, especially for premium air travel. Loyalty programmes advertise these sales as discounts or offer a bonus for purchased miles. Finnair has now launched its latest promotion on purchased miles, valid through September 17, 2025, 2359 Eastern European Time (EET). Finnair is offering up to a 50% Bonus on purchasing Avios in this round of the promotion, which is a tiered one. This is a cost-effective way to acquire Avios.
Buy Finnair Plus Points at a 50% Bonus.
Through Wednesday, September 17, 2025, Finnair Plus is offering a bonus of up to 50% on purchased points. The promotion is tiered, as follows:
- Buy 5,000-19,000 points, get a 30% bonus
- Buy 20,000-49,000 points, get a 35% bonus
- Buy 50,000-74,000 points, get a 40% bonus
- Buy 75,000-200,000 points, get a 50% bonus
The standard price for Finnair points is Euro 2.1 per Avios purchased (approximately 2.15 INR/2.45 US Cents). However, when you are buying the full 200,000 points through this promotion, you will receive a total of 300,000 Avios for 4,200 Euros (4,892 USD / 4,30,510 INR), which works out to a rate of Euro Cents 1.4 (INR 1.43/US Cents 1.63) per Avios purchased.
Which credit card should you buy United MileagePlus miles with?
Typically, these point purchases are processed through Points.com, rather than directly by the hotel or airline. However, you will almost always pay in USD/EUR/GBP, not INR. Therefore, the best cards to earn a bonus are the Citi Prestige, Axis Reserve, or American Express Platinum Charge Card, as these cards offer an international spending bonus. Beyond these, consider any card that provides a reduced foreign exchange spend conversion or one that helps you meet minimum spend requirements.
Bottomline
Finnair Plus has launched a promotion on purchased points, offering up to a 50% bonus when buying points, allowing members to acquire points for 1.4 Euro cents (approximately 1.43 Indian rupees or 1.63 US cents) per Avios. There are many other use cases for these points if you intend to travel within the Finnair network as well (e.g., upgrades, redemptions, etc.). As usual, do your research and check the numbers before you buy.
