  I thought I read yesterday somewhere that there would start a sale next week.

  Or is this just my wishful thinking?

    Nothing I’ve heard ….

  If you have 7 people in a household account and you really needed them, could you not buy 567000 avios in a year?

  Hopefully ‘Share my Avios’ will also increase from 24k to 27k. I needed to transfer 25k to my wife’s account for her to obtain a couple of tickets but it wasn’t possible.

    Are you not better off setting up a household account? That would let you pool the miles as opposed to having to ship them between accounts…

  OT but can i book a single baec reward ticket on my account for my girlfriend (not on my account) or does this cause problems? It would be an aer lingus flight so will have to do it over the phone regardless. Any info appreciated as always! Thanks

  Don’t know if it’s already been mentioned elsewhere, but I’ve also noticed that BAEC Gold benefits have recently been tweaked:

  Upon reaching 5,000 Tier Points, BA gives members 3 supplementary cards: 1 Gold + 2 Silver. (Previously it was just 1 Silver card at 4,500 Tier Points)

    Not done a full post on this as only applies to about 5,000 people! Lots of potential to obtain a Gold or a Silver for yourself if you know someone who is one!

      If anyone wants to send me one just let me know 😉

        Hi Liam, are you Ireland based? Anyone know of any avios credit card offers in Ireland? Or if tesco over there does club card to avios points? Thanks

    If anyone can upgrade me to BA Silver or Gold, I’ll sort you out

  If anyone is thinking about buying miles to top off an American Airlines account there is a bonus of up to 15,000 miles available until the end of the month.

    Still not terribly cheap though! Remember that the 20,000 Starwood points from the credit card can be transferred 1 to 1 to AA.
