  Hi Andrew- is it better to ERewards to Accor than direct to Avios?

    The 250 miles were just a sign-up bonus from completing one survey.

    However, signing up for E-Rewards with Accor is better than Avios, because E-Rewards will also give you the option to transfer your points to Iberia, which requires less points to redeem an award!

  That doesn’t sound too clear so let me clarify: when you sign up to E-Rewards with Avios.com, you can only redeem points for avios.com.

  If you sign up to E-Rewards with Accor, you will also be given the option of transferring your points to many other programs, one of which is Iberia. Iberia have slightly different reward values, so you can earn points quicker with Iberia.

    Further clarification: my original post about 250 points was referring to a direct E-Rewards->Accor bonus. I then transferred them from Accor to Iberia.

    Roberto – I presume my story didn’t qualify for Heathrow Rewards then – I will check with them.

    What’s the 10k from BA Blue?

    As regards your 20k groupon avios purchase, a lot of people on Flyertalk are in the same boat and already filing disputes. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/iberia-airlines-iberia-plus/1731559-interesting-groupon-selling-avios-spain-11.html#post26055482

      @Andrew the 10k was a husband to wife refer for a BA Amex (black to blue referal) including the £1000 spend in 3 months.

      thanks also for the FT link , it’s something I had not seen.. I spoke to Groupon and Iberia in Spain this week and have been getting the run around.. I will speak to Amex who I used for the purchase on Monday if I hear nothing by then and start the claim back process..

      I live in Spain mostly and imagine that the avios will just appear.. Or maybe not…

  It is possible to sign up with e-rewards through more than one or two or three sponsors.

  • Peter K says:

    Avios.com, BA.com, Iberia.com (occasionally), IHG, Accor. No doubt others as well….

    • Andrew H says:

      Indeed, though Iberia will give the best conversion.

  I signed up for the Tesco credit card, and got a referral form from Rob (thanks btw).

  I did my first spend on 27th December, then I posted the referral form at Heathrow on 30th December. I’ve had 1000 points posted on 31st December, which I assume is from the initial spend as it’s surely too quick for the referral.

  I seem to recall Tesco were posting the referral points fairly promptly though – any feedback on how quick they have posted? I don’t want to call Tesco and then send off another form but it looks like I might have to…

  • roberto says:

    I am in the same boat with regards to one of the expected 2 lots of 1000 points showing and think its the referral bonus we have.. The sign up bonus according to the T&C can take up to 90 days and history says that the referral bonuses tend to post real quick..

    • Gavin says:

      That makes sense. I must admit I haven’t got the blurb to hand, so will just keep checking my Tesco account. Still that and the Pet insurance should guarantee at least 5000 clubcard points for the next quarter.
