Hello, I hope you've all had a good week! Thank you to all of you who messaged saying how much you enjoy using the new Avios Calculator, hopefully it'll save you all some time in the long run. Meanwhile, there have been some interesting goings on this week. The front end of the week saw offers if you bought Avios with Qatar and Finnair, so we did a little comparison piece compared with just paying for a cash ticket. We did a guide to how to book for three people with a compan

Hello, I hope you've all had a good week! Quick personal one; my sisters and I ran the Bristol Half Marathon last week for Pancreatic Cancer UK and raised over £3,000. Thank you to everyone who donated towards the appeal I made last Sunday. Back to business, the big one this week is a tool we've been building for months. Six airlines use Avios, BA, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair, Qatar Airways, and Loganair, but they all price routes completely differently. The same city can var

Hello all of you, First off, today, myself and my two sisters, Bethan and Hannah, are running the Bristol Half Marathon today raising money for Pancreatic Cancer UK. Pancreatic cancer is one of deadliest forms of cancer as its usually only picked up once its too late to treat. This is exactly how it took the life of our Nana, Sue Pomeroy. Anything you can spare towards this worthy cause would be greatly appreciated. You can click here to donate towards Pancreatic Cancer UK. T

Hello all, Something a bit different this week as I've finally written the story of how I got into points. It doesn't involve a corporate Amex or a business class upgrade. It involves that photo of me aged 10, my parents, and a route into this hobby that I suspect quite a few of you will recognise. If you've been reading along and wondering who's actually behind this site, now you know. On the aviation side, BA is shuffling its A380s around and it's actually good news. Club S

Morning all, Well, BA had one to forget. Thousands of members woke up earlier this week to find their status had been extended for another year, and that's despite not having re-qualified. Cue celebration, confusion, and then the inevitable U-turn: BA has confirmed it was a technical error. If you got the email and you're wondering what happens next, or if you missed out by a whisker and you're rightfully fuming, we've covered both the original story and the backtrack. On the

Hello, I hope you've all had a good week! We've seen a competition for two people to win One Million Avios ... with a catch, there have also been some new Business Class Cabins announced and the Marriott Bonvoy Amex Welcome Bonus has increased substantially. M&S have partnered with Virgin Red as their first Sparks partner and you can now earn Avios on Uber Eats. We have also created two pretty key pieces of content these week. Yesterday we brought you an article all around B

Hello, I hope you've all had a good week! Offers galore this week. Virgin Atlantic is handing out up to 1,100 tier points on a single holiday booking, BA Holidays has a 10,000 bonus Avios offer running, Amex has £75 off UK hotels, and there's a 100% bonus Hilton points promotion and a 3x IHG points. We've rounded up the hotel ones separately so you don't miss any. Do make sure to check out about Hotels.com new loyalty scheme, as you can pair this one with earning Avios if you

Hello everyone, and welcome back! Hope you have all had great weeks. This week has seen a supplementary card bonus from American Express, Virgin Atlantic drop another route, and a reintroduction of the Tier Point offer we saw last year from the BA Premium Plus Amex. Avios and Nectar are offering an Easter bonus when you convert your Nectar points to Avios, we have done another Virgin Points Bargain Bin, and Helena finally feels ready to talk about her less than stellar flight

Hello, I hope you've all had a good week! The big one this week is our final (I promise) status match roundup before the BA Club reset on 31st March. If you or someone you know is about to drop to Blue, this is the one to read as we've gone through every match worth doing, and there's even a route back into oneworld if what you really want is to keep your BA perks. Elsewhere on Points Well Made, the newly refurbished Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Heathrow has been unveiled, we

Hello, I hope you've all had a good week! Big news from BA this week. Melbourne and Colombo are joining the network for winter 2026, along with frequency boosts on routes like Cape Town, Tokyo, and Barbados. It's the most significant route announcement we've covered on Points Well Made, and we've gone through every destination, the Avios pricing, and what's worth booking. Elsewhere, we've reviewed the American Express Centurion Lounge at Heathrow T3 (I was the third person th
