Foxtons Becomes First UK Estate Agent to Offer Avios: Earn Up to 30,000 Points

Here's something I genuinely didn't expect to write about: you can now earn Avios from selling or letting your property. Foxtons has just announced an exclusive partnership with IAG Loyalty, making them the only UK estate agent where customers can collect the global reward currency.

The timing is rather interesting. Just days after The British Airways Club implemented a ~10% devaluation on award pricing, we're seeing a new avenue to earn those very same Avios. Whether that's coincidental timing or a deliberate move to soften the blow, I'll let you decide.

The partnership, which launched on 15 December 2025, offers three ways to earn:

One important caveat: rewards cannot be combined. You'll earn either for the instruction or for property management services, not both.

This isn't a nationwide offer. Participating branches are limited to London, Surrey, and Berkshire for lettings. For sales, it extends slightly to include Watford, Bushey, and Hemel Hempstead.

So if you're a landlord in Manchester or selling up in Edinburgh, this one isn't for you – at least not yet.

The process requires a bit of account linking before you instruct Foxtons:

That 'before instructing' part is crucial – you won't be able to claim retrospectively.

Let's put this in perspective. Following the recent devaluation, here's what 30,000 Avios could cover (at off-peak rates):

Is this a game-changer? For most readers, probably not – the geographical limitations and the requirement to actually be selling or letting a property make this quite niche.

But for London landlords who were already planning to use Foxtons? This is essentially free money. Or rather, free Avios – which, as we know, can be significantly more valuable than their cash equivalent when redeemed wisely.

What I find more interesting is what this signals for the Avios ecosystem. IAG Loyalty continues to expand its earning partnerships beyond the traditional credit card and shopping portal routes. We've seen Nectar linking with Marriott Bonvoy, and now property transactions entering the mix.

It makes commercial sense for both parties. Foxtons research found that over 80% of landlords said a reward scheme would influence their decision when choosing an agent. And for IAG Loyalty, it's another touchpoint in everyday (well, occasional) life where consumers can interact with their currency.

The sales offer is a limited-time promotion ending 31 January 2026. If you're thinking of selling and want those Avios, you'll need to instruct Foxtons before then.

The lettings offer appears to be ongoing, but as with all promotional partnerships, terms could change. The press release mentions that Avios for lettings are awarded monthly across a year for completed transactions – so this isn't a quick hit of 30,000 Avios on day one.

This is where I'd urge caution. While 30,000 Avios is a nice bonus, it shouldn't be the primary factor in choosing an estate agent. The difference between a good and mediocre agent can mean thousands of pounds on your sale price or rental yield.

However, if you were already considering Foxtons, or they're competitive in your area, then it's a pleasant addition to consider.

If you're a London landlord looking to stack points across your property business, don't forget other opportunities:

Foxtons becoming an Avios partner is a niche but welcome addition to the earning ecosystem. For London-based landlords and sellers already in their catchment area, it's essentially bonus travel money for a transaction you were going to make anyway.

Just remember to link your accounts before instructing – and don't let the lure of Avios override sensible property decisions.

Happy collecting,

Jack
