Going back to my original question about Avios Subscription if I paid with AmEx gold @ x2 it would be 2580 so presumably that makes it slightly better value than the 1.295 ? When people calculate the cost of an AVIOS do they include paying with the card, or is it all about the redemption value?

@Misty the Avios sub will not register as a payment to an airline (my card statement showed ‘Avios Group AGL Limited’ as the recipient, not BA), so you won’t earn double points on it. However, I agree you would be correct to calculate any points earned on the payment in order to have an accurate overall Avios cost.
