Virgin Atlantic are up to their shenanigans again, gesticulating at you more aggressively than an Uncle Sam poster looking for soldiers during wartime. If you hold Bronze or Silver status with the British Airways Club, Virgin Atlantic will not only match your status, they're going to upgrade it, for free. Yes, you heard me. BA Silver gets you Flying Club Gold, and BA Bronze gets you Flying Club Silver. Normally, they'll only match like-for-like, but this goes one better than

We're bringing you three small stories today. First, Avios have launched two promotions for February, offering a bonus of 50% more Avios on hotel stays and double Avios on car hire booked through the Avios portal, and curiously they've added boosting at the cheapest rate you're likely ever going to see! We've covered booking hotels through Avios Hotels , and booking car hire through the Avios portal in the past, because it's such an easy way to get Avios for something tha

It's time for your weekly Points Well Made round up! Yesterday's piece was perhaps the highlight, where we ranked the best Avios earning cards in the UK. You might be able to guess our number one pick, but I wonder if you'll guess the rest... Over the rest of the week, we have pulled together a beginner's guide as to "What Are Avios?", there's 50% off all Loganair Avios seats, Lufthansa are offering a status match for British Airways Club members, and we've done a round-up of

If you want to collect as much Avios as possible, then a credit card is the must-have tool. Whether you're chasing that business class seat or just want to fly to Europe for next to nothing, having the right card for you can make a big difference to how quickly your Avios balance grows. We've ranked the five best Avios-earning credit cards available in the UK right now, comparing them based on earning rates, standard welcome bonuses, annual perks, and overall value. Some are

American Express and Lufthansa have updated the lounge access rules for Platinum Card holders. You can now access Lufthansa-branded lounges when flying any Lufthansa Group airline, not just Lufthansa, SWISS, and Austrian. You do this by simply showing your American Express Platinum card at the lounge desk. This is an often forgotten little perk. So it's good to see that this benefit is finally being brought in line with what everyone expected anyway. What's changed Previously

Here is a quick summary of some of best points related hotel offers around. Some of you (including myself) may already have stays booked at one of these brands, meaning that if you don't register for the offer, you're leaving free points on the table! Price is always a factor when I book hotels, but if there happens to be points available at a hotel I'm staying at, I make sure to bank them. In the past we've saved up Hilton Honors points for a decent redemption, but if we're

Hot off the back of Air France KLM trying to poach British Airways Club members with a status match ( click here for more information ), Lufthansa are now vying for you all by running their own status match for British Airways Club members, offering the chance to match your BA status for their Miles & More programme. It costs €99 and lasts until February 2027. Let's work out if that's any good. What's is a status match? Lets start with the basics. A status match is when an ai

For one week, Loganair are offering reward flights for just 3,250 Avios one way, that's half the usual amount of Avios.

Wait, Loganair use Avios? Yep! Back in

Finnair is running a promotion offering up to a 50% bonus on purchased Avios between 2nd and 5th February 2026. This is better than the last offer we saw from Finnair which only offered up to a 40% bonus . The points can be transferred instantly and for free to your British Airways Club account via the Avios website once they appear in your Finnair Plus account. But how does this offer compare to the current promotion on boosting your Avios , that we covered last week? The Fi

Is it that time of the week already? Those with good memories may remember that last week when I said, "Today is your last day to get sign up for Tesco Clubcard to Virgin Points auto-conversion, bagging yourself a 5,000 Virgin Point bonus. This bonus does tend to repeat itself, so if you miss it, don't fret, we will let you know when it comes back round." Well its back, already... So I've got a little moan for you all this week about it. Don't worry though, it's still a no-br
