  OT but related to Avios

  I just hit the Welcome Bonus today on the BA Amex Premium Plus card. Sadly, the monthly sweep of avios to BA happened last week. Next sweep is not due until 23rd April.

  Is it possible to tranfer these MR points to BA immediately?

    If you’ve got the BAPP then you’re directly earning Avios, not MR points. With MR points you transfer whenever you want and they go across within a day or so (sometimes sooner), but with Avios earned on the BA Amex cards you’re stuck with the monthly sweep.

  Related to Avios, I have just spotted that on their e shopping there are double avios for shopping at a number of places including John Lewis – Sadly this finishes tomorrow 31st March, but gives a decent 4 avios per pound. This is of course in addition to what you get from your cards. If I’m not needing to reach a spending target, I tend to use my Santander 123 credit card which gives 2% cash back at department stores – so better than the JL card which is 1% of membership points. I only use my JL card in Waitrose now!
  Since I discovered that you can collect JL online orders from any waitrose, including waitrose locals and usually the next day, this has become an easy way to get extra avios so long as the purchases are not too heavy or large!

  For anyone signing up for a Lloyds Avios reward Amex/MasterCard account: I opened an account with Avios.com in advance of my arrival of Loyds Avios rewards credit cards. 6 weeks later, and after I’d spent £900 using my new Lloyds c/c I still had an empty Avios.com account. When I queried this with Lloyds they told me that a had 2 Avios accounts, because they automatically open an Avios.com account for you in which to deposit your Avios! I was able to keep the account I already had, and they just amalgamated the two accounts. Instantly, upon signing out then back in again I had the missing points.
  So a) no need to open an Avios.com account when applying for Lloyds c/c , and b) if you already have an Avios.com account, ask Lloyds to amalgamate the two.

    Sadly this is a recurrent ‘feature’ of Avios.com! I had the same thing happen with the (meagre number) of Avios I collected from Shell – thankfully as you say they’re pretty used to merging accounts!
