Earn Avios Just By Giving Your Opinion - Avios For Thoughts: Thursday Travel Tips

You have opinions, right? You may have noticed that I do too...

Welcome back to Thursday Travel Tips – your weekly guide to earning more points and making every day count towards your next trip.

This week’s tip? A clever way to build your Avios balance without spending a penny: Avios For Thoughts, a way to earn Avios just for giving your opinion!

Earn Avios simply by answering some surveys

What is Avios For Thoughts?

Avios For Thoughts is an online survey community created for members of the British Airways Club, AerClub, Iberia Plus, and Vueling Club. By sharing your opinions in short surveys, you’ll collect Avios that can be put towards flights, upgrades, hotels and more.

It’s free to join, quick to use, and one of the easiest ways to keep your Avios balance ticking upwards.

How Many Avios Can You Earn?

When you sign up and complete your profile, you’ll usually receive:

• 100 Avios for completing the welcome tutorial

• 500 Avios for finishing your first full survey

After that, the rewards vary depending on the length and complexity of each survey:

• Quick surveys (just a few minutes): around 20–40 Avios

• Medium surveys (10–20 minutes): often 100–300 Avios

• Long surveys (30–60 minutes): can be worth up to 350 Avios

It doesn’t sound huge per survey, but they stack up fast – especially if you make it a habit to do one or two a week.
