I'm not quite sure how it is already November, but there you go! Our latest guest written post is all about how a family of five flew business on Avios to Sri Lanka, which is absolutely worth a read. Sam has written a piece all about why there are so many points earning debit cards coming onto the market at the moment. We've also written a guide on why you have to phone up to use your Virgin Atlantic Reward Voucher. Uber and Avios are running a promotion to earn a bonus 1,000

It's been an interesting week for news. We've had some nice news from BA, annddd some less good news, as you will see below. American Express have added three new benefits to the Platinum Card, some of which you could describe more as just a discount rather than a true benefit or credit. Sam has written an interesting piece on the Barclays Avios Rewards card and a new offer for switching to them, thoroughly recommend giving that a read. And I have written a guide to all the b

We’ve got a guest post this week from Jordan at Spend Less, Travel More, and it’s a refreshing take. A lot of people in this hobby of ours just talk about maximising redemption value and chasing business class, but Jordan makes a strong case for using your points in economy, especially if you haven’t got a massive stash to begin with. It’s not a crime to redeem in economy, and their year of travel is proof of that. On the cards front, Barclays is paying new customers up to £6

Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to another news you might have missed here at Points Well Made. It has been a week of exciting news and offers. We started the week strong with an offer from Rocketmiles to earn 75% more Avios on hotel bookings, beating Avios Hotels! Then, British Airways announced the long awaited details of the A380 refurbs ... which look fantastic. We popped out a reminder about the BA Premium Plus American Express card changes, something we know none o

Hello everyone, It's been an interesting week of news and posts here on the website. We started off with a new guest post from Joel Sycamore who ran through his playbook for earning and using Virgin Points at 19 years old. We had so many messages about this post and how much people enjoyed it, so huge thanks to Joel for this brilliant piece of writing. We ran a reminder that those lovely big welcome bonus offers on the British Airways Amex cards run out on the 6th October, so

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another news you may have missed. We know it's been rather a quiet week from us, as we have been away recharging in Kefalonia. The time away has really reset us for when we get back, but until Monday, we are going to carry on enjoying and soaking up all the relaxed Greek vibes, food and sun we can. This week saw us write about Iberia Family Accounts and how you can utilise these to pool together your families Avios. We've also written the t

Greetings from Kefalonia, We're in the middle of our holiday to this wonderful little Greek island, and we're planning to actually take a little bit of time off. 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." It's been a big one for launches this week, so buckle in. First up, Currensea and the Lufthansa Group have finally pulled the curtain back on their new Miles & More debit card, the fourth co-brand in that stable after Hilton, Marriott and United. Qatar Airways are back with round two of their monthly Avios sale, 25% off across 21 destinations, Avios Balance Boost has also made a reappearance, 400% an

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

Hello, I hope you're all well and enjoying the rain, for now... Here's what we've covered this week at Points Well Made. Both British Airways American Express cards have doubled their welcome bonuses. The Premium Plus is offering 60,000 Avios (usually 30,000) after £6,000 spend in three months, and even the free card has gone from 5,000 to 10,000, or 15,000 if you apply through a referral link. Both run until 6 October. I've just taken the Premium Plus out myself after spend
