    Regardless of the risk/opportunity associated with the investment itself, how quickly will the £50 value of Avios be swallowed by fees?

  • Inman says:

    JPMC has these kinds of offers regularly. Previously it was a variable amount (£25 – £300 or 2,500 to 30,000 avios depending on the amount invested). There was also a £100 boost offer for Chase customers. Nothing new really, but I’m not sure if any of the other offers still exist.
    I would rather go for a provider with a low fee than get tempted by one-time offers.

  • ken says:

    Always been a bit cycnical about Nutmeg, but for putting £500 in for a couple of months and a couple of quid in charges this seems a no brainer.
    The money would be invested anyway so no additional risk.

  • SammyJ says:

    Tempted to do this for my 20yr old son, I guess this would exclude him from any future, better Avios offers that Nutmeg have, but it’ll be years before he has any kind of transferable pension or savings anyway, so £500 seems an easy option to get the 5k.

  • MR says:

    Anyone else keep getting that on the sign up page?

    Something went wrong. If you’re having problems opening an account, please contact client services.

  • Dev says:

    How long before I can move the money elsewhere? I’m happy to place £500 in a GIAA for now and then move it elsewhere and consolidate with my other investments. As long as it maintains value at £500 and rises to cover the fees, it’s free Avios.

  • Russell says:

    Done – seems a good way to earn 5k Avios. The signup process is a bit laborious compared to opening a T212 GIA though!
