    is this worth doing? looks too good to be true to ear extra avios on all your purchases

    It is not for all your purchases, only spending in the stores under ‘earn in store’ which is currently <70 shops. Works similarly to Airtime, Perks at work in store, virgin shop away in store etc and I think worth doing as you don’t need to think about it. If you don’t mind giving them your card details.

    It’s worth doing if you are going to use any of the retailers listed on a regular basis. Be mindful of card-clash though – registering the same card across multiple sites as that can result in zero (or all) offers triggering.

    Also be aware that you can generally register *any* card. I miss the days when my gin soaked maiden aunt would spend £lots in Waitrose and I’d earn Avios.

    Click “Earn in Store” and there are about 60+ restaurants, Harvey Nichols and Twickenham.

    has anyone tried doing this recently? It looks like they have removed all of my previous registered cards and I’m receiving an error message when I try to register any new ones..

    Yes, all my cards seem to have dropped off the system.

    “Error linking card (Identity does not have permission)” is the message when I try to re-add a card.
