Looking for some help please:

We have £106 in Clubcard vouchers and have found that we can get 2 flight for 20,000 BA Miles + £120.

So we can exchange the clubcard points for the miles..... but on the BA website it mentions only being able to 'purchase' 19,000 a year.

Does exchanging Clubcard vouchers for BA miles count as a 'purchase'?

    No, purchasing is when you actually buy them from BA, if that makes sense.

    I used to convert all my Tesco codes into ba miles until I went to book a flight and it was £120 with my airmiles and £118 without them :eek:

    No, exchanging Tesco vouchers for miles is COLLECTING them.
    Only when hard cash exchange hands you are PURCHASING them.

    Before you do, make sure that you are either flexible on dates or check availability of the dates you want. Some routes are difficult to get hold of as the airlines know they will fill the flight with paying people and as such don't reserve many for miles customers. Also the more in advance you are booking the better.

    Many thanks Sarah and Any xx

    The flights were available this morning, and it's nor next June, so fingers crossed we should be ok.
