This week’s tip? Turn home insurance into Avios, an unexpected but easy way to pad your balance while protecting your home.

Important Things to Remember

• Always start at the Avios portal - going direct to the insurer won’t track your points.

• Clear cookies before starting and don’t use voucher codes or discounts - they can invalidate the Avios award.

• Only new policies count - saved quotes or renewals made outside the portal usually won’t qualify.

• Be patient: Avios can take 3–6 months to show, depending on the provider and policy terms.

• Read each individual Comparison Site / Providers terms and conditions seperately as there are caveats.

Travel Tip Takeaway

If your home insurance is up for renewal, don’t just shop for the cheapest price directly with the comparison sites, shop for points too. Always start out on the Avios website as a single policy could net you thousands of Avios, enough for a return flight in Europe or a solid boost towards a long-haul redemption.

Turn your home protection into travel rewards, and let your next renewal get you closer to take-off.

Until next week.
