I noticed a little while back it seemed to have gone up a lot, is this something covid related to get people to make cash bookings rather than using avios?
did you click through to the quote page? the pricing point in bold is the old RFS rate and clearly includes a 25% discount.

6375 Avios + £ 0.50
5063 Avios + £ 6.50
3750 Avios + £ 12.50
3000 Avios + £ 17.50
2213 Avios + £ 32.50
1650 Avios + £ 42.50
