Timing in life is everything


Converted all Tesco points over to BA or Avios for 4 accounts - 3 accounts posted promptly (although Avios decided to open a new account) - one account still not showing anything in BA or Avios - but its only been a few days.

Although the 3 accounts that did post only took 2 days !!
That's a huge drop in value isn't it?, glad I never bought some more for redemption later in the year. Tesco probably have a few thousand of the Nokia 5800's, hence the reduction in value (all submitted from FT'ers probably)

I think the big mistake I made was the auto convert option
