A year or so back, Tesco had some WiFi dongles priced at £20, with 500 bonus points (convertible to 1200 BA miles at the time).

The dongles were fetching around £15 on eBay (after subtracting costs) so it was costing £5 for 1250 BA miles (including 30 for using BAPP card) - pretty good value at 0.4p per mile.

Except, I was clearing out a cupboard last week and found the 6 I bought and forget to sell.

Looking at eBay now, I'm looking at around £5 each. Not such a good deal at 1.25p per mile.
