  A rough estimate on a x2 boost costs 0.94p per avios.

• Olly says:

  0.92p for me so no real change in the usual value. No interest in buying at that price

  • Ian says:

    Not cheaper.

    The offer opens up another 11 months of chances to boost if you haven’t done so before. That is the offer.

      I think one of the Qatar sales priced them at just over 0.8p last year.

    • Iain says:

      Yep. Just did it. It’s the same boost price, just allows you to do the boost on transactions not boosted already. Worked well for me, as I had some sat there not boosted.

    Agreed, absolutely no value at that price.

  The link to the Avios balance boost page doesn’t work, Rob, or least not for me.

    Probably because you have cookie trackers blocked / adblocker for affiliate links. Just go direct “BA Buy Avios” into any search engine.

  Somewhat fun to see I can boost 950k Avios, but at over £14k? No thanks. Weird that it gets less value for money the greater the boost factor.

  • Kieran says:

    11 Jan11 January 06:22

    It’s cos you can only do 300K at the ‘cheap’ price. Anything over is charged more.

  • zapato1060 says:

    Yeah a bargain at 1.47p

  • HampshireHog says:

    11 Jan11 January 07:18

    The offer appears to limit the boost at circa 0.92p to 300,000 Avios

  • G says:

    11 Jan11 January 08:23

    Because you can only boost up to a Certain limit per year i think up to 300k avios

• Chris says:

  11 Jan11 January 06:54

  It looks like as soon as you boost more that your usual yearly limit you get charged at a rate far higher than 0.92p (at 3x)

  There is a message “ You can boost another 300,000 Avios at the balance booster price.” – however selecting more (which I can cause it lets me select all 2023 transactions), then prices a lot higher above the 300k

  Anyone know how quickly AVIOS points from their subscription model would post if I was to sign up today?

  Contemplating signing up if the points arrive ahead of the boost promo ending on Saturday night.

  • Matthew says:

    You can’t boost Avios subs IIRC

  • vindaloo says:

    11 Jan11 January 07:24

    Pretty sure Avios from subscription aren’t eligible for boosting anyway.

• Frank says:

  11 Jan11 January 07:11

  For me it says that I have not earned any Avios in 2023. Which is a bit odd…. Another BA IT failure…

  • Rob says:

    11 Jan11 January 07:14

    Said that for me last night!

  • vindaloo says:

    11 Jan11 January 07:28

    I was trying to boost some Avios last night (before the promotion started) and although it worked fine on my wife’s account I got the message “You don’t have any transactions to boost at the moment” on my own account, which definitely wasn’t true. Trying again this morning, I get the above message on both accounts.

  • Joe says:

    11 Jan11 January 08:03

    I have the same message !

    • Joe says:

      11 Jan11 January 08:10

      Logged out and back in and it works – 676,000 to boost … !

    • Matthias says:

      11 Jan11 January 08:11

      Me too – any ideas on how to fix this? Can the contact centre do it? Or just try again a little later?

      Btw there is a link on the Boost page which clearly outlines the prices and yes after 300k the cost almost doubles.

    • Richard T says:

      11 Jan11 January 08:22

      me too. Logging in and out made no difference.

• T says:

  Works as usual for me. Loads to boost if I had the cash or inclination (from Barclays bonuses)

  0.92 for 3x
