    10k cash, in the stock market. Never hoard more Avios than you need — far too risky

    10K, a million points is easy enough to earn and difficult (ish) to redeem. £10k cash takes effort to earn and can be spent very easily – wiseley invested, compounding will be your friend, points will devalue over time.

    Take out 27 life insurance policies every year, apparently.

    Could I have half cash and half avios? I’m a natural hedger.

    Tomorrow, it would be the cash.

    But this time next year, if I’m allowed to spend some time planning and to check for availability before choosing, I might pick the avios.

    I’d have the million Avios. You can get £10k’s worth of Business class seats without trying very hard and a million Avios would certainly translate to a lot more travel than £10k cash would.

    Well for £10K you can boost more than a million Avios. Would take four years subject to the annual limit and sufficient earnings to cover it, but as always points are only of value if you have a plan to use them and most people would take some time to burn through that many.
