Edit: to do this you have to opt out of blue rewards but there is a 25,000 Avios CASS switch reward for Brand New Barclays customers (existing ones get 2,500). £75k+ salary.

Probably useless at the moment but just seen this (sponsored article) on Head for Points - when rolled out will be 1,500 for £12 per month.

Personally I can’t see this as a great deal (other than switch bonus) but I’m sure some could make it work. Bonus is worth 40k Nectar points if you convert them from Avios.
