Avios has quietly rolled out a limited-time Boost Avios promotion, allowing members to retroactively boost eligible Avios earned since 1 January 2025, all the way up to 500%. If you were earning Avios during 2025 through flights, credit cards, shopping portals or sign up bonuses, this could be one of the cheapest ways to top up your balance. The offer runs for just 8 days, so it’s very much a “check your account now” situation. Apologies, we haven’t done a full deep dive into

If you're trying to decide where to focus your loyalty, you've probably found yourself wondering: should I be collecting Virgin Points or Avios? Which are better? Is Avios better than Virgin Points? British Airways' Avios and Virgin Atlantic's Virgin Points represent two different philosophies: fixed-price reliability versus dynamic-pricing flexibility. By understanding these differences, you should get a better understanding of what will work for you. Let's break down which

British Airways Club has launched a new partnership this week with TodayTix, allowing members to earn Avios on theatre and live entertainment bookings. On the surface, this looks like a win for Avios collectors who enjoy a night at the theatre, especially while the 500 Avios introductory bonus is still available. Dig a little deeper, however, and the earning structure is less generous (and less clear) than it first appears. Here’s how the TodayTix Avios partnership works, how

This question came from one of our followers on a fortnightly Instagram stories Q&A. But I thought for the benefit of all I'd write a post. The short answer? Yes and no. Amazon is absent from the Avios eStore, which some of your may think is bizarre given it's where most of us do half our shopping these days and surely they would want in? In truth, Amazon are so dominant in our lives they don't need to generally don't need to offer rewards to entice you in. Same-day delivery

Iberia is running a brief sale offering up to 40% off Avios redemptions. The booking window is tight, from now until 26 January, but if you've been eyeing an Iberia redemption, it's worth a look. The discount applies to flights departing between 19 January and 24 March 2026 on routes operated by Iberia, Iberia Express, and Iberia Regional Air Nostrum. As usual with these promotions, taxes and surcharges aren't discounted, so you'll still pay the full cash component. What Dest

If you’re going to gallop across Africa, you might as well earn a mountain of points while doing it. That, at least, is my logic as I prepare for one of the most exciting trips of my life: a riding safari in Botswana from 14th–21st March with Horizon Horseback Safaris. This isn’t just a dream holiday fuelled by horses, wildlife and wide open spaces. It’s also a full-blown personal experiment in spending as little as possible on the kit I need while earning as many points as h

Yesterday, we covered the increased bonus to the British Airways Premium Plus card , but not to be forgotten, British Airways have also quietly increased the welcome bonus on its free British Airways American Express Credit Card, doubling it from the usual 5,000 Avios to 10,000 Avios. While this card doesn’t come with a hefty annual fee or flashy perks, it does offer an easy route into Avios collecting, and access to a Companion Voucher once you spend enough. To qualify for

British Airways has just boosted the sign-up bonus on its Premium Plus Card from 30,000 Avios to a much more generous 50,000 Avios. This card does not just offer you the chance to earn Avios, but also an all important Companion Voucher allowing you to book 2 for 1 trips when using Avios to book your flight. Apply before 24 February via, but do not apply via the American Express website. More on that below. Just a quick heads-up:  Points Well Made is here to dish out the juicy

Good offers often come back around in the miles and points world. However, that doesn’t mean they hang around forever, and this one is now right at the wire. If you hold the free British Airways American Express Credit Card and have never added a supplementary cardholder before, then this is your final reminder to act before the offer disappears. The Clock Is Ticking on 9,000 Free Avios Until tomorrow, 15 January 2026, you can earn 9,000 Avios by adding a supplementary cardho

Hot off the back of cancelling the majority of their flights due to snow and fog , and then having to beg for de-icing supplies from Germany just to stop the rest of Schiphol airport from collapsing, Air France/KLM have decided they'd like to poach some members of the BA Club, and I'm sure some of you will happily oblige. KLM alone fly to 19 UK airports, giving them more coverage across the country by a huge margin compared to BA. As of 14th January 2026, Air France/KLM are
