    Have you tried Avios Hotels on the BAEC site, they offer 15 Avios per £ spent
    I booked out of a Rome (Independant) hotel on Saturday and my 12,270 points have posted today (Friday)
    Considering an Off-Peak flight to Rome is 15,500 Avios plus £35.00 that practically paid for my flight
    I know cost might come into it but always worth checking

    Is this in the shopping portal or do I find it elsewhere?
    Thanks in advance

    BAEC – Discover – Collecting Miles – Hotels and Accomodation – Avios Hotels
    Make sure it is set to ‘Collecting Miles’ and not ‘Spending Miles’
    or
