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

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

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

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

We regularly recommend using search tools like Reward Flight Finder to actually make use of the Avios you've collected. British Airways' own way of searching is notoriously frustrating (good luck is all I'll say), but finding exactly which flights have availability, on which dates, and whether you're getting the "good" business class seats requires a significant amount of manual effort. Yes, you have to pay for them, but third-party tools solve this problem by doing the heav

If you use your Avios on British Airways, understanding peak and off-peak dates is one of the simplest ways to stretch your points further. British Airways publishes its Avios pricing calendar well in advance, giving members clarity on exactly when flights will cost fewer points. Today we'll guide you through the British Airways peak and off-peak dates for 2026, explain what they mean for Avios redemptions, and we'll show you how much you can realistically save by planning ar
