British Airways Cuts Avios Earnings on Uber Rides in UK & Ireland Effective June 15

Effective June 15, 2026, most UberX and Taxi rides in the UK and Ireland will no longer earn Avios for British Airways Club members. Earnings are restricted to Uber Reserve, airport trips, and select premium options

What happened

  • Uber Reserve: 3 Avios per £1/€1 spent
  • Airport Trips (UberX and others): 2 Avios per £1/€1 spent
  • Select Premium Ride Options: 2 Avios per £1/€1 spent
  • Train Trips: 2 Avios per £1 spent Members must link their Uber account to their British Airways Club account to participate. This represents a material devaluation of the Uber-BA partnership for frequent riders who rely on standard ride-hailing for point accumulation

British Airways is updating the terms for earning Avios through Uber in the UK and Republic of Ireland, effective June 15, 2026. The primary change is that standard UberX and Taxi rides will no longer earn any Avios unless they are to/from an airport or booked via Uber Reserve. Qualifying trip types and new earning rates:
