It’s double Avios weekend! Shop online via the Avios eStore between now and 23:59 on Sunday (25th February 2018) and you’ll get double Avios at a range of retailers.
There are lots of great options available, not least 4 Avios per £1 at John Lewis, 8 Avios per £1 at Apple and 8 Avios per £1 at Booking.com.
All Avios will be added to your account within 35 days of the date of your purchase with the exception of hotel or travel bookings, which can take between 90 and 120 days after you’ve completed your stay.
The downside to this offer is the fairly hefty list of excluded retailers, which are available here.
What is the Avios eStore ?
Rather like the cashback sites, Avios eStore gives you a rebate for shopping with everyday online retailers if you click through to them from the portal.
As such, if these are retailers you would ordinarily visit, it is a great way of earning Avios on transactions you would have made anyway.
British Airways Executive Club (confusingly) also has its own separate e-store, which is also offering double Avios this weekend. There can be differences between the two platforms, so it’s worth checking both.
One warning
Double Avios can give you some great added value on purchases. However, before you commit to an Avios eStore purchase, check the offer on cashback giants TopCashback or Quidco.
If the cashback is better (and we’d use 1 pence per Avios as your benchmark), that’s obviously the place to go.

Avios restore and Gate365 are great when they work!
I just lost 1900 avios on the purchase of a new tv from Tesco direct.
Their excuse was “they could not identify the last click”
The avios were credited 45 days after purchase – too late to send it back and then removed the next day!
Be very wary!
