Such a shame they have removed ebay - double points would have been epic during the run up to xmas.

PanGalactic,

Did you really have to post that whole list ? It takes up a lot of space for no reason, people can visit the website themselves.

Coming back on-topic, wished I waited a little longer before ordering the things I did on the Apple store !

Ah, but Avios junkies like Panny will find it useful to have the retailers listed by potential earnings rather than have to go through each of the categories on the site!

The first line of the T&Cs says:

This promotion is open to Eligible Participants only – that's Avios members who have been personally invited by Avios Group (AGL) Limited to take part.

It looks like this applies to both the double Avios promo and the £2k JL voucher competition.

Mrs P didn't get the email but when I log in to eStore through her account I see the big banner there also

Take screen shots to be on the safe side!!

No problem, if people wouldn't mind kindly posting back here when their purchases track and how long they took, and also if they haven't tracked within 10 days I will keep tally on the first post so we can see which stores are working best.

Also, a little tip in order to avoid being ripped off by this offer incase your purchases don't track...

Create a new folder under your inbox and put all the receipts in there. Also make a note on your calendar for 35 days after the purchase was made to remind you to fill out the missing Avios form.

Thanks

Aha

BA eStore is great (especially when eBay was in the list), but often exactly the same shops give a percentage discount via quidco, topcashback, vouchercodes, etc. More over often these shops are not the cheapest and you can find cheaper shops.

As a notorious bargain hunter I spend far too much time, figuring out the best deals and *sigh* with 2x bonus it is not going to be any easier.

Just to be clear, this is offer is not for the BA eStore, it's for Avios.com which is only open to UK members.

Dont beat yourself up, the offer was only announced yesterday evening

You still have until 31st October to make up for it.

Can somebody point me in the direction of the threads for the end of collection BA Miles through eBay? I've been struggling to find them! Thank you.
