⭐️ Daniel G.

⭐️ Elliot L. 

We want to send a huge thanks to everyone who took part and helped make it a success. If you’re not among these lucky souls, then worry not – there are many more opportunities to win big coming your way.

### Sharing the plans

It must be a great feeling to wake up with a million Avios in your pocket. We can think of [quite a few ways](https://twitter.com/monese/status/1174708981413142528) to spend those points, but we were curious to hear more about the real plans our winners have...

Renee lives in London. He’s planning to travel the world with his family, and he already knows his first stop: Tobago. Up next is Bermuda, and maybe also Namibia. Safe travels, Renee!

Ollie moved from Cambridge to Manchester to study and, as soon as his university break begins, one thing’s for sure: those Avios will be used to fund his first trip to South America. 

Daniel, a fintech lover and loyal British Airways customer, is over the moon with his win – he plans to up his travel game to all kinds of new and exotic destinations. 

Wherever you go, Monese should be there for you every step of the way. And if you need some tips on how to make the most of your money while you’re out there, [we’ve got you covered](https://monese.com/blog/travel).

Meet the new Avios Millionaires

Six lucky Monese customers now have a million extra Avios each – here are the details

Country Tag > United Kingdom

Back in February, we launched the world’s first current account to [link to Avios](https://monese.com/avios "Monese with Avios") with British Airways Executive Club. To celebrate our continued partnership, we’re offering the chance to win one million Avios. That’s right, we're making six Monese customers Avios millionaires!

### How can I use one million Avios?
Whether you fancy flying from London to Sydney and back, or plan on taking all your friends to Ibiza for a week, it could all become reality with a million Avios in your pocket. This will allow you to order champagne in first class, for you and everyone else on your flight!

Indeed, the possibilities are endless. You might choose to take your entire family to the Shard viewing deck, cruise the Amalfi coast with your friends in a plush rented convertible, or sail around it in a catamaran.

Wherever your imagination takes you, you need to enter to be in with a chance.

### How to enter

### What are Avios?
![Monese Avios phone screen](//images.ctfassets.net/96dxy75w1gjr/7HnGSKukBrwV7bXY4AP123/6d6406ea7724dc6a73609db424718af8/Avios_Blog_visual1_16x9.jpg)

Avios are reward points that you can collect when you spend money on flights with British Airways and its partner airlines, hotels, car hire and hundreds of shopping partners (you can find a full list [here](https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/executive-club/collecting-avios "British Airways Collecting Avios")).

You can spend your Avios on rewards such as flights, upgrades, hotel stays, car hire, experiences, or even cases of champagne!

### How does Monese work with Avios?

Earlier this year we [joined forces with Avios](https://monese.com/eu/blog/2019/02/introducing-avios "Introducing Avios") to seamlessly link this popular reward currency with your Monese account.

Currently you can link your British Airways Executive Club account to effortlessly track and manage your Avios balance, straight from your Monese app. Once connected, your Avios will appear as a separate account alongside your other Monese accounts as long as you are a British Airway Executive Club member. If you aren’t no worries [click here](https://www.britishairways.com/travel/execenrol/public/en_gb "British Airways") to start.

You can get a straightforward overview of how to make the most of your Avios – whether you’re collecting or spending – through a few simple taps - including those earned on any credit cards, all in one place, via one simple-to-use app.

Plus you can [collect Avios when you refer a friend](https://monese.com/eu/blog/2019/05/collect-avios-refer-friend "Refer a friend collect Avios") – just invite someone to Monese and you could collect up to 1,500 Avios each time someone opens their account and makes their first transaction!

<div data-comp="signup"></div>

What would you do with a million Avios? We’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas – however eccentric they may be. Just let us know on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/MyMonese/ "Monese official Facebook page"), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/monese "Monese official Twitter page") or [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/monese/?hl=en "Monese official Instagram page"). 

And good luck in the competition!

We’re offering six lucky Monese customers one million Avios each

Whether you’re enjoying the soaring temperatures this week, or it’s all getting a little too close for comfort, we expect it’s going to be a lot cooler for any Monese customer lucky enough to win our summertime prize draw.

We love it when people have the freedom to live, work and travel wherever they like, come rain or shine – or, in this case, scorching hot heatwave. 

That’s why we’re hoping that a prize of £250 – each going to seven lucky winners – will go some way in compensating for the sweltering heat this week, even if it's just for buying you and your friends a few rounds of expensive ice-cold cocktails.

<div data-comp="signup"></div>

### Already using Monese?
It’s super easy for existing customers to sign up to the prize draw by making a single Monese-to-Monese payment, any time before July 31st.

Simply navigate to the Payments section of the app, and select another Monese customer from your contacts list to make a transfer to. Then tap ‘Next’ and, in the reference field, enter STAYCOOL before confirming the payment.

### New to Monese?

New customers can partake in the fun as well – and can even receive a guaranteed cash reward simply for creating an account and making their first card transaction.

By entering STAYCOOL in the ‘Invite code’ field on the initial ‘Sign up’ screen, you can expect a £/€ 15 welcome gift winging its way into your new account as soon as you make your first card transaction.

You’ll be able to see people in your phone’s contact list who are already with Monese in the ‘Ready to pay’ section of the payments screen – and by making single transfer to any one of them (using the reference STAYCOOL) will automatically enter you into the prize draw.

And remember, if your friends aren’t on Monese just yet, you can always take advantage of our [Invite and Earn](https://monese.com/gb/en/invite-and-earn) rewards program - meaning you can earn cash every time you invite someone and they make a transaction using their card.

### What you can win

There are 7 prizes of £250 available, and 7 winners will be randomly drawn to claim one each. If you do happen to be one of the lucky recipients, you’ll be free to spend your prize money on whatever you like – although we might recommend investing in a great big bag of ice cubes just in case the blistering heatwave conditions return...
All that remains to say is good luck – and to point out that you can find the [Terms & Conditions](https://monese.com/gb/en/terms).

Win £250 in our summertime prize draw

Beat the heat this last week of July, with seven cool prizes up for grabs

Now that the festive season is in full swing, we wanted to share a bit of holiday cheer – and what better way to do it than through showering you with Christmas gifts?
Until the 23rd of December (now 31st), we’re pulling out all the stops to give you and your friends the gift of Monese. Read on to find out how!

__Update: due to popular demand from our customers and friends alike, we’re now extending this offer until the 31st of December! Act fast!__

<div data-comp="signup"></div>

## £15 if you open your first Monese account
If you’ve been thinking about trying us out, now’s a great time to jump in.

Pop in the code __XMAS2018__ when you sign up, and you’ll get a whopping £15 (or €15 if you open a European account)! All you’ll need to do is use the code at sign-up, open your account and top up with at least £50 (or €50).

Apart from the cash, this will get you a fully portable current account that enables you to manage money like a local in 20 countries and 11 languages, with one of the most popular and trusted financial services in the UK and Europe.

And once you’ve done that, you can also take advantage of this next bit...

## £15 referral bonus for our existing customers
If you’re already a Moneser, worry not! We will give you a £15 (or €15) gift that we’ll put into your account every time you invite someone to join Monese. All they need to do is open an account and top up with at least £50 (or €50). Not only that, we’ll gift them £15 (or €15) as well! 

Naturally you can always refer as many people as you like. So even after the holidays, when you’re packing away the decorations for another year, your Monese account is the gift that keeps on giving into the new one (albeit with our regular referral bonus of £10 or €10 for each).

## Free cards all around
While we’re in the spirit of giving, we’ll also waive the £4.95 (or €4.95) delivery fee for everyone’s first card during this period – including for yourself, if you’re yet to order yours! A lot of people have been asking for this offer, so we really hope you make the most of it.

There’s never been a better time to get your friends and family to try Monese, or to do so yourself – so we really hope you’ll share this far and wide! 

Remember, you’ve only got until the 23rd of December (now the 31st of December) to get in on this! So, for example, if you refer someone on the 14th, they will need to open their account, top up and order their first card by then in order for these Christmas goodies to kick in.

Just make sure you’ve got the latest version of Monese app!
