I purchased my annual allowance earlier in the year when there was a sale on and I have just received this e-mail.

Dear Mr XXXXXX

We've got some fantastic news for you. As you have purchased over 30,000 Avios this year, we've reset your limit so you can enjoy up to 35,000 additional Avios, before the end of 2015. These extra Avios can be used however you like; for a Reward Flight, a cabin upgrade or even a gift for another Executive Club Member.

Plus, the more Avios you buy, the bigger the bonus you'll receive - take a look below to see how much you could earn.

I am assuming others may have got this?

Not the best deal ever given we have seen a 40 and 50% offer in the past and it works out at just under 1.3p per Avios.

However it might be handy for some folks though. Iberia ran a similar sale recently where balances were reset to 0.
