We won't be posting quite so much this week, and if news breaks, we may not be able to cover it straight away. If that is the case, do keep an eye on our Instagram or Facebook, as those will be the places we will be posting to. Where were we .... First up, we've got a guest post from Henry Ross, CEO of Ruma Travel, o

Hello, hello, hello. And welcome back to another "News you may have missed." We've had an interesting week, of news, offers and me managing to double post one day because I forgot to unschedule an article. So, apologies for the double email on Tuesday! We started off the week with the latest in our guest post series, an article from the lovely Beta and Nat from Fly Smart Club, and how they use their points. Tuesday was the unfortunate double post day, well done me, where we b

For once, we've got a transfer bonus that isn't exclusive to the Americans. Revolut is running a 20% bonus on RevPoints converted to Avios from now until 30 August.

News you may have missed this week at Points Well Made - 16th August
It seems like the industry is taking their summer holidays all at once, but that's no bad thing, because it's given us a chance to get some guides out for you all. Did you know you can book Avios flights earlier than 355 days? That's BA's window, but it's not an Avios rule. Qatar, Finnair, and Iberia all open their own seats before BA's booking window even starts. Revolut has announced it's building its own branded airport lounges, starting with Copenhagen in 2027 in partners

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another news you may have missed. A slightly calmer week on the news front, however Sam and I did spend two fantastic days at this year's Farnborough International Airshow on Monday and Tuesday as Press.

News you may have missed at Points Well Made - 19th July
Welcome back to another Sunday round up, and goodness what a week it has been. Half of our planned articles were shelved because there was just far too much going on. There is a plan in the near future to move to multi-posting if you were wondering, but not quite yet. First up in the week we had a wonderful guest writer Neil (otherwise known of ManofMilesUK) who wrote us a great article all about whether solo travellers have an advantage in the points and miles world. Huge th
