I check today and 35,000 Avios are costing €659.
What are other people seeing?
I think there may have been an error/bug as Avios.com were selling 40,000 for £399. However that 'loophole' is now closed and no doubt BA seemed to have possibly 'forgotten' to increase the price list too as they were also £399 for 35k but it is now £575
A fairly happy day for the consumer at 1.1p (BA) and 1p per Avios (Avios.com)which isn't too bad. Well done to those who bagged them at the lower price.
More info here and I even got a mention!

Oh, and can we leave Ed Balls out of this, he made mistakes like this and was part of the reason our economy got a thumping!
