You can transfer the damn things so why overcomplicate matters.

Sorry, maybe im being dim but I just dont get it!
Avios.com is a consumer loyalty scheme, BA.com is a frequent flyer program.

Why not make TPs transferrable and let them be earned on Avios.com through shopping and/or credit card spends?

That would sure even things up a bit
