Have been looking at this over and over again since Rob’s article and this thread and have decided to grab the 50,000 Annual subscription.
So, for as long as there is an Avios tickets available, I’m basically locking myself into a five fares of £125 for a domestic economy return. As the 2 return flights to EDI I’ve just booked using Avios would have been almost £400 each – I’m sure that I’ll get good value out of the £455.
I’m intrigued about this statement on the subscription page though:-
Planning on subscribing? If you do it before 1 May 00:01 BST, the price will stay the same throughout your subscription. The price change depends on the currency.
I’m interpreting that to mean that the price will never rise at renewal. Will find out next April.
No, you’re confusing auto-renew with discrete subscription periods and will be disappointed by your unrealistic interpretation.
Auto-renew will start a new subscription at the end of the twelve month period at the new, higher rate.
