Last month I wrote about Avios Suitcase, the new Avios app which is now available on Facebook.

If you didn’t play the app at the time, it is worth clicking on the link above and doing it. You should earn around 400 Avios by taking part, and it only takes a few minutes. Take a look at the comments below the article as well, as they explain how to get around some of the buggy issues that may crop up.

If you did play last month, a new badge is now available. This will earn you a whopping 20 Avios points.

Avios Suitcase

The new badge is Twitter Follower and will link your Twitter account to follow @aviosuk. You can, of course, unfriend AviosUK immediately afterwards if you want, although to be fair they are very measured in what they send out – you won’t be drowing in tweets.

Whether it is worth the few seconds of your time required to earn just 20 Avios is up to you …..
