Important dates for your diary (April 2015)

Here is the latest edition of our regular feature which summarises offers that are ending soon.

It pulls together the different deals mentioned on our Top Avios Points Earning Offers, Top Hotel Bonus Points Offers and Top UK Credit Card Offers pages.

There is no debate over what is the biggest story this time.  April 28th is the day that the Avios scheme undergoes its first major devaluation.  I have written a huge amount about this so I will not start repeating myself again.  My series of 10 articles on the changes can be found here.
