A few weeks ago I earn’t 15 Avios per £ for a hotel booking through BA. I need to book another hotel and can’t find the link to this anywhere. The best I can find is 10 Avios per £. Does anyone know if the 15 per £ is still available, and have a link, or if its been reduced to 10? Many thanks!
I think it changed recently to 10 avios, someone else posted about it.
I got 15x on 4th. September so the reduction in earnings is within the last week!
Since I started the thread “Poxy BA Websites Stuffed Again” I’ve found out that http://www.hotelsandcars.ba.com doesn’t handle the hotels anymore. Another new and inadequate BA website has appeared: http://www.rewards.ba.com
This shows Cars, Hotels, Activities and Wine. It then flies off to different existing websites depending upon which tab you select.
However rewards.ba.com now handles standalone hotel bookings which can earn/redeem Avios. The earning rate seems to have been reduced to 10 per £1.
Previously hotelsandcars used the same underlying engine as Amex Travel – same layout and quirks. It now seems that rewards.ba.com does its own thing. The hotel selection appears to be greatly reduced, the map is tiny and won’t zoom properly/at all and the hotel pictures won’t enlarge and are postage stamp size. If you ask for “Paris” is doesn’t show anything beyond arrondissements 1-4.
Another fine piece of BA IT!
Also getting to this website directly seems almost impossible, everything on ba.com wants to take you to BAH to book a hotel.
It is also necessary to sign in to this new website, even if clicking through from somewhere else. So we now have to sign in separately to:
ba.com
hotelsandcars.ba.com
rewards.ba.com
pgt.shopping.ba.com
shopping.ba.com
thewineflyer.co.uk
And for God’s sake make sure you sign-out from each one separately, otherwise the site is left open and logged-in for you or who knows who to stumble across later.Thanks everyone, just booked and got 10 per £. Shame they reduced it!
