(Bad) redemption of the day goes to my nephew, who has just used 51,000 Avios gifted to him to take £200 off the cost of a flight to South America.
No award availability anywhere near the dates he wanted, unfortunately. And despite my lobbying, he values the £200 now higher than the promise of ~£510 later, which is fair enough I suppose.
I shed a little tear, but they’re his to do with what he wants.
Maybe next time offer to give him £200 for the 51k Avios!
