Reward Flight Saver not working
Why is it when I try and book on avios .com I get the following

Avios: 159,750
Cash: £0.00
Reward Flight Saver: £0

it then says

159,750 Avios + £647.36

Why am I not getting the reward flight saver price?

What (flights?) are you trying to book? What combination of cash/points?

I don't know about Avios.com, but ba.com has been having some hiccups for the last few days.

Have you earned at least 1 Avios in the last 12 months, BAEC transfers not included?

Have you earned any Avios there in the last 12 months. It's been over a year since the Lloyds bonansa. BAEC transfers and, as I found to my surprise and peril, Shell joining bonuses don't count.

I found the quickest thing was a Tesco transfer.

Have you seen that, if you can wait, RFS fees will be cut to £1 from next Monday noon to Wednesday noon in the sale (for economy at least).

Or buy 1,000 Avios, it will do the trick - although Amex and Tesco transfers are reasonably quick.

Yes, that's what we are aiming for the £1 redemptions, although to be honest with 8 of us travelling It might be best to just pay.

All 8 on the same flight? I'm trying to do almost the exact same for IBZ, although struggling to find availability (for 6 ex GLA)

There will be direct EDI-IBZ flights starting in a few months if you don't mind going over there and the flight timing.

It's one of the later iterations of the avios.com sale that began today:
