    Season’s Greetings! 🍷🎄

    BA (Humbug) Shopping has reversed the Avios earned from my M&S transaction citing ineligibility

    Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what rule I fell fowl of? (sorry, couldn’t resist)

    TIA

    Turkeys aren’t for Christmas (Avios) after all? Oh dear.

    Mind you BA haven’t been that forthgiving with any Avios on my BA shopping portal purchases this month despite the email saying they’d give an early Xmas pressie with 50% bonus Avios on top of all purchases. Will be claiming missing Avios in the new year.

    My Christmas points earnings through the portal seem to be all over the place. Any I have got I’ve boosted in the vague hope that will make them stick – no idea if this is the case though.

    Sounds like you had a Sparks offer or had ordered a Gift Card.

    @Andrew – no, neither of those things apply – just ordered the turkey.

    I received an email shortly after congratulating me on Avios earned – and then another email some days later saying the Avios had been removed.

    But how was the Turkey?

    I won one of their gin liquors in their Christmas sparks countdown. Not drunk any of it but it lights up. And that’s worth more than any avios!

    @BA Flyer IHG Stayer – Congrats on the gin liquor win! 🥂 – and to answer your question, the turkey was delicious; it was only the removal of the Avios earned that left a bitter aftertaste 😀
