purchase of fuel is not part of this deal but when i buy gas, i credit to esso to move to avion to hold to conver to BA at the 1.5 mile bonus.

Took me a moment to decipher what you've got going..

So Basically you paid $850 to get 1.5 times BA miles compared to 1 AE mile..

So ratio 1:1.5..

For a cost of $850..

But I'm confused.. you said on your original post that you converted 50K, 50K and 30K of AE miles to Esso.. and you ended up with 134,000 BA miles..

Or is the 134,000 BA miles before applied 1.5K bonus on it.. so really you ended up with another 67,000 BA miles.. so total of 211,000 BA miles..?
