Umm ... I have many Avios available?

Hey, I am just starting out on Avios. I will build my stash over time
If I bought the flight I would get about 750 AE miles between the ccard and the flight.
I guess it's a value of a 2.5 cents per mile, which is not great but as they say, better than nothing.
One thing for sure, it is better than 20,000 AE miles for the same flight post December bookings.
