British Airways Launches Avios Subscription Service (From 1.53¢ Per Point)

British Airways has launched a subscription service where you get a set amount of points per month/year. If you sign up for a yearly subscription you pay for 10 months instead of 12. Adventurer is the best cost per point price and is $3,069 for 200,000 points, that works out to be 1.5345¢ per point.

  • If you're not a BA loyalist, I suggest you read up on BA tricks and practices. I read that they like most of the world charge Americans more.

  • Such a terrible proposition by BÀ. I wonder who even thought this would be a good idea, who are they even targeting with BS like this.

  • why buy points from an airline that has shown they are willing and able to tack on hundreds or thousands of dollars in imaginary fees just to make those points be worth whatever they want them to?

  • If you use their points for AA flights, please go to airport early and be prepared if AA tells you BA didn't fund your ticket.
    This happened to me last month, BA keeps saying they funded my ticket, but AA said no. AA won't help you because they didn't get money and BA can't help you too because they will keep telling you they funded.
    Result: full price ticket if you want to keep your trip. (I'm lucky enough to rebook though points, but I had to stay in airport entire day).

    • that sound real bad, they didn't get you the booking reference or e-ticket number after booking???

  • Signs of a failing or shitty airlines 101, when they start selling imaginary points subscriptions more than actual flights.

  • For UK-based people, maybe this makes sense since as OMAAT points out you can buy points for under 1 cent per pound, which seems good. The US prices don't really make a lot of sense, though.

  • Screenshots are capturing a price that's different from the link -- do they charge more for USD (even after factoring in the conversion)?

    Could be worth it if you just use a no-FTF card as I think it ends around, if not under 1 cpp
