Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Club Incorrect avios showing on MMB for flight/hotel bookings?

  • 27 posts

    Just booked a trip to ORD in November. When I first selected the flights, the webpage showed me the correct expected number of avios (i.e. as a gold, 9 times the total of the Fare and Carrier imposed charge).

    I then added a hotel and confirmed the booking. But now MMB is saying the number of avios earned will only be around 30% of the previous figure.

    Has anyone else seen the same thing and should I be worried, or just accept that the BA IT transformation has barely begun and it will be correct by November? I have only paid a smallish deposit so far, so don’t know if that makes a difference. Keen to understand if others are seeing the same thing and whether it does sort itself, or requires some intervention.

    Many thanks.

    Avios earned from a flight booked as part of a BA Holiday are based on the old distance method not the new based on the fare flight only bookings scheme.

    I really wouldn’t be concerned about this until you’ve actually flown and seen what TPs have actually posted.
