  The latest avios suitcase badges are a bit more generous than normal at 120 points each.

    If you can get them all to work that is !!!

      I managed 2 of the 4. I don’t have instagram and couldn’t check in to Apple Store using FakeGPS app.

    • Chris says:

      Managed to get them all except the iWatch badge. Despite a Facebook check-in at the Covent Garden (?) Apple Store I still haven’t received it.

        The check in one is the only one I can’t get to work. I don’t live in London so have used a GPS location spoofing app to try.

          Switch off the location services for facebook app and search for the store manually. If several stores appear with the same name, check into all of them as it’s not clear which is the official one.

  The avios suitcase badges (or at least some if them) now come with the instruction to make sure you share them publicly. It appears that they’re on to the trick of making the posts private to avoid spamming your friends.

  • TimS says:

    Yes but all you need to do is follow the instructions, wait for the badge to activate and then delete the facebook post.

    That should reduce the spamming.

  I publicly checked in at Apple Store Covent Garden and haven’t got the points, that was yesterday morning. All other tasks posted points a ok within seconds. Is worth quickly setting up an Instagram ac to get those points for Instagram tasks, even if you never use it again. I have an account with Instagram but rarely use it,

  Follow the instructions carefully. Also check in to Covent garden apple store for 120 avios. This then opens a series of a futher 9 check ins for apple stores around the country. You don’t need to be there to check in (use an ipad or phone and these can be set on privacy so only you can see them) – I am currently in Dubai on holiday and have done the lot!
  So far 10 check-ins , 1 instagram pic of a apple watch pic I nabbed on line, 1 tweet and 1 shared link. 13 badges x 120 avios for each = 1560 avios!!! All posts then deleted on social media!

    Some of the check-ins didn’t work at first but it appears they have fixed that. Just make sure you check into the tight store page (will be the one with the most check-ins).

  I spent ages the other night trying to get the Covent Garden one – I checked in several times to the Apple Store but still the sticker did not give me the miles or open up the other stores. Tried again last night and it still doesn’t work for me. Managed to get 2 of the other ones.

    Make sure you are checking in the right page (the one with the black apple logo).

      After umpteen attempts over several days I just switched off the location services on my iphone and the Covent Garden sticker came straight in and opened up all the other ones! A result!

• pat butcher says:

  Can anyone help please. I can’t link twitter or instagram to avios suitcase. I’ve tried several times and nothing happens. It just redirects me back and it’s still not linked. Ta.

    pat butcher (!) – i had the same problem, solved by switching onto my mac instead of iPhone.

    • pat butcher says:

      28 Apr28 April 15:09

      Thanks, I was on my pc but got it to work on my ipad.

  So you don’t actually have to visit an Apple store then? Do you need an Apple device?

  I know so little about Apple or Facebook!

  • pat butcher says:

    28 Apr28 April 09:10

    Me too but i got this to work. You need facebook on a mobile device. There is a “check in” option, click that then type in where you want to check in. Once you have done covent garden it opens up more.
    The only ones I can’t find are princes street and cabot circus.

  • Ajay says:

    28 Apr28 April 09:17

    just need to check in via facebook on a smartphone or tablet. Just go to check in and search for where you want to check in

  Did anyone manage to find the page belonging to the Apple store in Edinburgh? I’ve had no luck with that particular one.

  • Rob says:

    It is “The Apple Store Edinburgh Princess Street”

    • Simon says:

      29 Apr29 April 11:23

      • pat butcher says:

        29 Apr29 April 17:50

        Cabot circus:- searching for apple bristol worked for me. It comes up as apple retail, 11 philadelphia street .
