    As an Avios subscriber on the original plan I’d take the cash and invest it then spend £1,789 a year over 5 years to buy 1m Avios and spend them as I go to manage the devaluation risk. After 5 years I’d have just over £1k plus investment gain left.

    Bold of you to think there’d be any value of Avios in 5 years time. But I hope so!

    If you use them well, especially with a 241, you can get £8k or even more value in year 1, then anything afterwards is a bonus . That’s the way I see it.

    I have a million, will stop subscription now , same £1789 pa, spend them from now on. I’ve already over last 5 years got more in airfare equivalent than spent on avios and Amex fee.

    Huh? He said he would spend them as he goes so if they become worthless he just ends his subscription
