e-rewards: What to spend points on?

madonnamustache

Hi all,

I have 24000 points accumulated with e-rewards and was wondering what the best way to spend them would be? Which point conversion would give me most bang for my points?

Errmm ... that's lovely! But why have you posted this in the Freebies thread?

Surely its not about which one will give you the most for your points rather than which one will give you the best benefit...

I'm registered with these too and the one that personally gives me the greatest benefit is the virgin club miles...once I reach 12000 virgin club miles thats a £50 virgin voucher which I can use....its possible that I would get more points or bebefit from another incentive but if I dont use priority club or hilton hhonors for example then whether or not they give me more,in real terms they are worthless to me!

So sorry! I could not find the appropriate category for it and I saw a few other questions about points and rewards here. If mods can move to a better thread, that would be fab!

True! Thanks for that. I was thinking of converting the points to Iberia Avios and then convert those to BA Avios.

Why not just convert them straight to BA Avios?

Can't see that option. Am I missing something? :eek:

Oh, your list just said "Avios" so I assumed you could decide what form they come in. I can't see the option either (though if you're making a new Iberia account, bare in mind that you can't transfer them to BA until the account is 3 months old).

I'd change them for Flying Blue miles, or Delta skymiles, as they're both SkyTeam airlines, the group I seem to use the most, although if you use Star Alliance the most, MileagePlus miles are the way to go.

I don't know about Delta (US airlines do tend to offer better FF progs), but FB miles are useless.

Why? 6000 Flying Blue miles are pretty worthless - they couldn't even use that to get a single one-way flight (that I could see?). Whereas the 9000 Avios they will get would get them a return flight to zone 1, or a one-way flight to zone 2. Plus I assumed their preference to get Avios meant they possibly already have some/want to earn more.
