Everyone lost in the Ether II

Morning all

It is possible that today is my last day at work. Maybe


Means I get to go glitching or good dealing


Means I get to see my chickens during the day instead of counting their feathery bums in bed


Means I get to lose all the stress that that place has piled on me.


I just need to have the balls to do it

How do you work out how much value you got out of an avios redemption?


By comparing the number of avios redeemed to actual or perceived cost of revenue flights you might otherwise have taken. You also need to factor in the the taxes and fees on the redemption. Ultimately thd value you reach will be dependent on many factors, e,g. when you book, whether you base value on revenue price of airline redeemed or cheapest acceptable alternative etc. Thus, values are very inividual and not directly comparable. It is worth trying to figure one out for yourself though based on your redemption history as it guides you in setting a realistic price you should be prepared to pay per avios either directly or indirectly.


That is very subjective and difficult to calculate.
It is the only way that I can travel long haul in Club or First, so Avios are very valuable to me. Others with a high income (I had one when I was working) may value them less since they can pay for the current low price cash fares.
Another complication is that when you collect you may not know what the redemption terms will be when you redeem.

I've never sat down and worked out what they are "worth" until tonight.

It doesn't really matter if (a) you are not buying them (either directly from avios or by buying things just to get the points that come with the item) and (b) you are spending them on stuff you wouldn't otherwise do.

Like you I would be reluctant to pay £££s for long haul business flights, but being I got the avios as an aside to general life, they didn't really cost me real money.

I suppose the value in putting a price on them is if you could put them to better use or if you could buy flights as cheap as using the avios.

Long haul business (or first) with a 2-4-1 voucher is generally regarded to be the best use of them, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If you want to see their worth divide the price you would pay for similar flights by the number of avios you are using. That gives you a broad idea of their value - even if you wouldn't actually ever spend that money on those flights.

This I can understand. Thanks silvercar. I've always just regarded them as a bit of a bonus. Although we did get the Amex specifically for the voucher, it was done in the knowledge that we had some big expenditure coming up so we would easily meet the target

You've got balls qoc, get in there and do it. Are you an Elute or a mouse? Loose the stress and enjoy your chickens and the run up to Christmas.

Go do it girl, I know you can x

Dave, there are more advantages, just search Amex on HUKD.


Statement credits - Amex gives you money back when you register for a promotion and spend the required amount in a given outlet.


Current good ones are £5 back wys £10 @ Post Office - they have a giftcard that you can credit to Amazon, for example.


Which explains why I have got 5 Amex cards in my wallet. Other people are more enthusiastic than that, but 5 is a good number for me.


So the Post Office deal nets me £25, or put it this way: 50% discount on Amex on £50 spend.


The SD one discussed last night is also £5 back wys £10, good if you need a half price electric toothbrush (as I do).

I still haven't worked out Avios and I have a reasonable amount plus T CC that could be used - I really need to work out how to spend them effectively as I am bound to be missing a trick .

I do have a few Amex - as does Mrs Anon and each have a supplemental card to double up on the promos .

Shop Small starts tomorrow and in the past OneStop convenience stores have been included - these are actually owned by T and in many cases have similar promos to the T Express. Each unit is seen as a different shop :cool:? Just need to check they haven't changed this.

I am now over 6 months since I closed Gold - I think I can now re-apply as a new customer for the joining bonus again?

Grabbing a coffee then back to bed for an hour more and catch up on emails :eek: where to start, my inboxes are crammed :cool::rotfl::rotfl:

You can re-apply in confidence. What many people do is switch between spouses every 6 months. It is household income that counts. Ie perfectly OK to have spouse as supplementary for the first 6 months, close a/c, then spouse becomes main cardholder for the next 6 months with you as supp. You can even refer each other just before you close the first one, to earn the extra points.
