Avios.com eStore and British Airways Gate 365 shopping portals are both offering double Avios for purchases from all of their partners until 23:59 on Sunday (17th July).
I generally value Avios as being worth about 1p each, so there are some pretty good deals here – definitely worth taking a look if you need to buy/book something anyway!
Note that these are just a few of the options that stood out as I flicked through the offers – there are 100s! I should also point out that although the two portals share many of the same retailers, there are differences (eg. Avios eStore tends to be better for travel related companies).
Travel:
Hilton Hotels: 12 Avios per £1.00 (no cashback available on UK sites at the moment, so this is a great deal!)
Accor Hotels: 16 Avios per £1.00 (very good, but you should also bear in mind the bonus cashback available at the moment too)
Radisson Blu: 12 Avios per £1.00 (cashback rates are 6% elsewhere, so this is a good deal)
Britannia Hotels: 20 Avios per £1.00
Celebrity Cruises: 8 Avios per £1.00
Holiday Taxis: 20 Avios per £1.00
Fashion
Lots of retailers offering 4-20 Avios per £1.00 including:
Banana Republic: 20 Avios per £1.00
Other retailers:
Tesco Direct: 4 Avios per £1.00
Selfridges: 16 Avios per £1.00
Fortnum & Mason: 14 Avios per £1.00
Planet Organic (organic supermarket): 30 Avios per £1.00
Gifts:
Interflora: 20 Avios per £1.00
Hotel Chocolat: 20 Avios per £1.00
Godiva Chocolate: 20 Avios per £1.00
Sites I don’t know anything about that seem to offer massive bonuses:
UKHost4U (web hosting): 80 Avios per £1.00
Father Christmas Letters: 74 Avios per £1.00
Pay As U Gym (single use gym passes): 70 Avios per £1.00
BOTB (dream car raffles): 60 Avios per £1.00
Ancestry.co.uk: 50 Avios per £1.00
Shirt City (personalised t-shirts, caps, etc): 50 Avios per £1.00
BitDefender: 50 Avios per £1.00
80 Avios per £1.00 is the same as buying them for 1.25p each, which is still considerably more expensive than I would advise (personally, I would need them to be about half that price to be interested), but there might be an opportunity there if you actually need one of the products.
Possible ‘profit’
I haven’t looked into these properly yet, but they could be worth investigating…
Royal Mint (with restrictions): 14 Avios per £1.00
Magazine Subscriptions: 1,000 Avios for new subscription (some start at a £1.00 a month)
Finally, if you donate to Oxfam you might want to take advantage of this offer for 20 Avios per £1.00 (there are a few other charities on the Avios eStore too).
Conclusion
Double Avios makes some of these offers really rather good – particularly for Hilton and retailers like Apple and John Lewis where getting cashback or other discounts can be difficult/impossible. As ever though, always check what other offers are around and what Topcashback / Quidco are offering!
