Thanks for mentioning this PanGalactic, very much appreciated! Managed to top up my account with just enough Avios, in case any F redemption opens up!

Point of interest to some...

Bonus Avios from previous Purchase promotions in 2011 will not be included in the total Purchase Avios annual limit.

So any Gold or Silver Card Holder can purchase up to 11k extra points. ^

Didn't even have to wait for something like this in the advent calendar
