Get more free Avios via the Facebook Avios Suitcase app

If you have been taking part in the Avios Suitcase ‘game’ on Facebook, a few more badges have been added in recent weeks.
It is a while since I logged in (August?). The current badges are new and, for me at least, unclaimed:
Flybe – new fan
Rocketmiles – app sharer
Flight Finder app sharer
Avios iOS app sharer
Avios Android app sharer
Rocketmiles goal sharer
Rocketmiles – new fan

Note that you now need to share these badges with your Facebook friends in order to earn the Avios. Just selecting ‘Only Me’ no longer works.
The above ‘badges’ earn you 20 Avios each. Remember that these are credited to your avios.com account and need to be moved across to British Airways via ‘Combine My Avios’ if your main balance is there.
If you haven’t played Avios Suitcase before, you can earn a couple of hundred Avios points by completing all of the existing tasks. I seem to have 24 badges now! You can find the game here.
How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (June 2023)
