I'm currently going through one of life's many pleasures by talking (screaming internally) to Virgin Media attempting to renew our broadband for another year, pleading for a price that doesn't make me want to go through the switching to another provider because I'm already quite busy, something I'm sure you can relate to! Considering how my live chat experience is going, I may soon be looking for a new broadband provider, which gives me an excuse to shop around on the Avios S

In our third guest post, today's post has been kindly written by Robbie Watson, on Instagram as @robbiewatson, where you can follow along with his travels, whether that's extreme day trips, value/points led trips, cruises, or taking trips to less well travelled parts of the world. If you'd like to guest write, just simply DM us on Instagram or email sam@pointswellmade.co.uk with an idea, and we will make it work! Avios redemptions tend to make people think of long-haul busine

A short and sweet one from us today. Long have we bemoaned the fact we rarely, if ever, get to see the bonus point conversions our American brothers and sisters enjoy. Every few months another US bank runs a juicy transfer bonus to Avios or another airline programme, and those of us on this side of the pond just watch on wistfully. Well, for once, we've actually got something worth talking about. Revolut is running a promotion from 17 August through to 30 August 2026 where yo

That may sound like a funny question, surely I have to take it as soon as I've earned it? Not quite. There are two ways to earn a Cabin Upgrade Voucher, and the answer is different for each. If you've not come across it, the Barclays cabin upgrade voucher lets you book a seat in one cabin while paying the Avios price of the cabin below it. So a Club World seat will cost you the Avios rate for a World Traveller Plus seat. You do unfortunately need to pay the taxes and fees in

If you're a British Airways Club member (you're here, so let's assume that), here's a quick win worth adding to your Avios-earning routine this month. Register a new debit or credit card on the Avios website for in-store purchase, spend £15 or more in one transaction at a participating in-store partner, and you'll bank 250 bonus Avios on top of whatever you'd normally earn. Registering your card had been paused between March 11th and April 15th, but in this period all Masterc

355 days in advance is BA's booking window, but this isn't an Avios rule. Seven airlines now use Avios (being BA, Qatar, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair, Loganair, and Vueling), but each opens bookings on its own schedule, with a few opening earlier than BA's window. This isn't a trick for getting BA seats early. BA opens at 355 days, and that's that. It's that Qatar, Finnair and Iberia start selling their own seats before BA's window even opens. Here's what you need to know. The

We bring you the sexy first class cabins, but also the practical value. Well, this definitely falls under the practical value banner. Avios lets you turn your points into Pizza Express vouchers, normally at a rate of 1,000 Avios for £5, which is not good value. But until 31 August it's double, so 1,000 Avios gets you £10, and you can order up to £250 worth in total per day, if you're feeling hungry. That's 1p per Avios, which is the number we use for a fairly priced redempti

If you have any Avios, which I think the vast majority of you do, you're probably going to want to read this. Qatar Airways has rolled out a new up to 25% off monthly discount scheme on Avios redemptions. This is different to our usual coverage which is usually around Qatar sales to do with purchasing Avios. The first round of deals has already gone live, so here is everything you need to know about this Qatar Airways Avios sale before this booking window closes. What exactly

Let us be the first in the points and miles space to say it: well done, Avios. Avios has been updating something behind the scenes that's been missing from its toolkit for years, something so overdue that third-party tools had to build it for us all first. Without so much as a press release, at the time of publishing, Avios has rolled out a much-improved calendar that allows you to search for reward seats, with additional Companion Voucher availability built in (even if you h

British Airways has moved a big chunk of its Middle East schedule around again over the past few days, and I know a number of you were trying to target Dubai with your Avios this winter, so sorry in advance for being the bearer of bad news if you haven't heard already. Because BA keeps setting dates and then changing them, treat this as where things stand today rather than gospel. Dubai is still coming back from 25 October, but as once a day instead of three flights a day. Th
