Any good free flights credit cards without big spending requirements?

I have some old Hilton Honors points I wish to use up. Would be nice to pair them with some free flights earned via credit cards.

Any good free flight cards on the market that reward you with a high bonuc and don't need £500 or so spending in the first 3 months?

    If you PM me I can refer you (and a partner) for a BA Amex card.

    4,000 Avios each (after a £500 spend within three months) will buy you a one way flight to somewhere like Prague or Milan along with £17.50 in taxes.

    I'll let you work out how to get home!

    If you consider £500 over 3 months to be a big spending target then I fear you are going to be disappointed.

    Imagine a card were to give you airmiles equivalent to about 1% cashback on your spending. On £500 spend you would get airmiles worth about £5. That won't even pay your shorthaul economy departure tax so you are likely to end up with a small pot of unusable airmiles. I suggest you ether go for a cashback card or perhaps the HHonours one as you already have some of their points.
