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. No catch, no complicated rules, just a straight 50% discount on flights using your points. Whether you're planning a trip to the Highlands, visiting one of Scotland's islands, seeing family, or you need to stock up on Irn Bru, Tunnock's and whiskey, this is one of the best deals to squeeze more value out of your 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

Over February and March, we’re taking a proper deep dive into Avios. This will be a great article to send to anyone you know who might be Avios-curious! Avios is one of the most talked-about rewards currencies in the UK, yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood. It’s often associated with frequent flyers and travelling in premium cabins, but in reality Avios can be just as useful for occasional travellers and everyday spending. The challenge isn’t Avios itself, it’s unders

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

We’re back in the Bargain Bin once again, rummaging through Virgin Atlantic’s dynamic pricing in search for the really good, cheap fares that we know you love, and honestly, February through April 2026 is quietly stacked. This time, we've also included some frankly laughable redemptions too with prices in the hundreds of thousands! If you’ve been sitting on a pile of Virgin Points wondering when to strike, this could be your sign. From 6,000-point economy legs to Premium retu

The ever popular Tesco Clubcard to Virgin Points bonus promotion is back for another round! Virgin/Tesco are once again giving away 5,000 Virgin Points to new auto-exchange sign-ups. But I do want to have a little moan this time... More on that at the bottom of the article. Most of you will have taken advantage of these deals before, but it's worth sharing with you in case you haven't. Perhaps you know someone who would benefit from this? If you're a Tesco Clubcard holder and

Update: This offer has been extended for three more days until 1700 GMT Monday 9th February. 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 ver

A couple of weeks ago we brought you the news that if you had BA Status, you could match your status to Air France/KLM's loyalty programme called "Flying Blue" Airline status is one of those travel perks that sounds far more mysterious than it really is. You’ll hear people mention they’re “Silver with BA” or “Gold on Virgin”, usually followed by an assumption that they must live on planes. Airline status is simply a loyalty reward, and while it can meaningfully improve your t

I recently stayed two nights at the Maldron Hotel Cathedral Quarter in Manchester, and I was genuinely impressed by what you get for the money, easily justifying writing a review. At just £60 per night, you're lucky if you could find a Travelodge for that money. But for my money I was able to get a deluxe double, which included room service, a full service bar, and a gym! At this price-point, that represents outstanding value. Grain and Grill bar and restaurant About Maldron

Turning everyday spending into future travel is exactly what we do here, and BPme Rewards makes this game easy. Thanks to BP’s partnership with British Airways, every visit to a BP garage can help you edge closer to your next trip. Each fill-up or shop earns you BPme Rewards points, which can then be converted into Avios to use on flights, upgrades and travel extras. The BPme Rewards to Avios Conversion Rate The conversion itself is very straightforward. For every 40 BPme Rew

Hello! Hope you all had a good week. To top it off, here's your Points Well Made round up post! 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. You also have only two days left to get up to 40% off Iberia Avios redemptions! Saturday's post was probably my favourite, and it's

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

Emirates Skywards announced today that members can now redeem Skywards Miles for Jet2 flights. On paper, this sounds like a useful addition for UK-based Emirates flyers. Redemptions start from 8,000 Skywards Miles including taxes and fees, and you can use miles for flights, meals, baggage, and seat selection. The partnership gives Emirates Skywards' four million UK members access to Jet2's 14 UK airport bases (including the newly launched London Gatwick base from March 2026)
