It seems British Airways and Avois.com have a bonus points offer when you buy Avios.
Depending how many you buy will depend how many extra Avios you get
- Purchase 1,000 – 6,000 Avios and receive 100 bonus Avios
- Purchase 7,000 – 12,000 Avios and receive 1,000 bonus Avios
- Purchase 13,000 – 18,000 Avios and receive 2,000 bonus Avios
- Purchase 19,000 – 23,000 Avios and receive 4,000 bonus Avios
- Purchase 24,000 Avios, and receive 6,000 bonus Avios
This puts 30k of Avios at £399 – still a bit expensive for my personal tastes, but better than a poke in the eye.
Avios.com has a full table of what is worth what (copied below)
You can purchase through both BA.com and Avios.com if you haven’t used your allowances yet. You’ve got until the 26th October 2012 to get them…
Alternatively, for £255 you can pick up 20,000 Avios via FlyBMI.com as BMI Destination Miles, and convert them to Avios quickly (just ensure it’s all done by the 27th October when flybmi.com goes the way of the Dodo).
One thing that won’t go the way of the Dodo is the prize draw for GhettoIFE’s first anniversary! And I’m giving away stuff for your stories on the worst food you’ve had on a plane! Head to http://economyclassandbeyond.boardingarea.com/2012/10/10/ghettoifes-first-aniversary-on-boarding-area-giveaway/ and enter for the chance to win stuff… that.. umm.. is nothing like what I helped gave away last week.
So Enter! Fun things to be won this week!

At first I was thinking this isn’t so bad at 1.3cents/point then I realized it would be in quid, yeah not a great deal.
