    Cheers for this.
    Reading it, I noticed this.....for eg, 150,000 Avios on two Club World peak day tickets to San Francisco. ................
    So at 1.5 Avios per £1 would you have to spend £100,000 to get a flight to San Francisco? :eek:
    (Or are off peak flights a lot cheaper?)


    Dave, I burn about £250K Avios a year on flights, do you really think I have anywhere near £167K to spend :)


    We simply collect points far better than the average person. Just join HFP emails and read around past posts.

    Ah, it wasnt for me, but the person I had in mind does spend between £1200 and £2000 a week ( :eek: ) in morribobs, so thought it might be a good way for them to get hols. They wont bother with any other way of getting points apart from using the card.

    135,000 off peak, I think.
    People collect Avios in all different ways: credit card spends, flying One World airlines, Tesco clubcard deals.....

    Would your friend churn credit cards to earn points?

    For anyone doing the Amex shop small thing, there are loads of offers in One Stop at the moment. I got a tub of Quality Street at £5 plus 2 choc oranges and After 8 in the three for £5 - net cost after credit £5. They also had Pringles at 2 for £2, so may pop back tomorrow with a different card to get 10 of those.

    My dentist is an Amex small shop!

    No, very little free time, so even thay would be stretching it.
