  O/T: I was referred for free BA Amex. My referrer got their 4,000 Avios bonus and I’m working toward £1,000 spend for my 10,000 Avios. On an item which took me over £500 spend I’ve been given 1,000 Avios as ‘Additional refer a friend bonus’ – anyone know why? I held a BA Amex previously (over six months ago) and don’t recall this happening.

    I had the same thing last month – not sure why/what the exact criteria is, but they give you the additional bonus early and then the standard 9000 once you hit the £1000 spend

      OK, thanks.

  OT – Barclaycard will now give you free access to your Experian score… there should be a link when you log into your account to register

    Yes i’ve seen this on there. They rated me at 999/999 which seems a tad unlikely to me and doesn’t tally with my Noddle score (which is good but nowhere near the maximum)!

  I received this email and the wording for the 1000 point bonus seems – to me anyway – to suggest that it’s not targetted and is open to any first time user. I’m going to try it for my wife who didn’t receive the email (but I believe that was only because she’s not opted in to marketing emails).

  In answer to your question there doesn’t seem to be any stipulation of what you need to buy or minimum spend so yes I believe you could order literally anything through it and get the bonus.

    That would be good as I did a first order yesterday booking an IHG hotel! Will wait and see if the bonus points post!

  I’ve had the Virgin email. Does anyone know if you can get the bonus on purchases under £1? (you’d need to spend £1 to earn at least one mile).

• Andrew H says:

  OK, I’ve just purchased a 59p ‘Cat Print’ pen for store collection from The Works. Hopefully should get my 1000 points.

  • Rob says:

    25 Nov25 November 12:05

    Hmmm. A purchase under £1 will not trigger any miles so how is Flying Club meant to know you bought something?

      I can’t see The Works as a retailer – what did you search for ?

      • Sussex Bantam says:

        No worries – found it !

  I don’t this has been covered elsewhere on there – there’s also currently a 1000 point Virgin bonus for setting your Tesco clubcard account to autoconvert. As in the past, unset it after the bonus hits (which should be shortly after 5th December I believe); well before it actually converts anything (assuming you don’t want to autoconvert that is!).

  • TimS says:

    Does anyone know what happens to existing (unspent) clubcard vouchers when you set an account to auto-convert?

    I have some unspent vouchers in a “dormant” clubcard account that I don’t want to convert to Virgin points but I would happily take the 1,000 free points for auto-converting the current quarter’s nil balance if doing so didn’t touch the vouchers already earned.

    • Liz says:

      25 Nov25 November 13:53

      You only need to be auto converted in by 5th Dec to receive the bonus – you can then take the auto convert back off before the next Tesco statement is due which is in January. You don’t need to convert anything to Virgin – just be auto converted on that date. I normally wait till the points post 2/3 days after the date then convert back to vouchers.

        Thanks

      • Alan says:

        Not tried any of these autoconvert offers before, but if I do it now and cancel in mid-Dec does that mean my existing points and unused Clubcard vouchers will all be safe?

        • Liz says:

          25 Nov25 November 16:40

          Yes – just remember to switch it back to vouchers after the points have posted.

  OT*Help! I am converting from Tesco to BAEX Avios to benefit of the £100 bonus. which fields need to match?

  • Avioso says:

    25 Nov25 November 14:01

    From experience surname address is sufficient.

    • idrive says:

      25 Nov25 November 17:09

      thanks, Avioso is a funny name! it sounds like the 8th – miles collector Dwarf ! Are you taking Snowhite on your next redemption? 🙂
