Quickest way to earn 1 avios without flying?
Well, what is the quickest way to earn 1 avios with either Avios or BAEC without taking a flight.
You need to earn at least 1 avios in the last year in order to enable 'reward flight saver' flights. Points from e-stores (e.g. ebay) say they take up to '35 days' to credit. But how long do these usually take to come through realistically?

Quickest and most reliable: buy a 1000 from BA. Instant.
After that, a conversions in from another scheme:
e.g. Amex Membership Rewards Points,
Tesco Clubcard (if you have vouchers already),
or from BAA world points,
or a hotel loyalty scheme conversion, etc.
These can be anything from a few hours (if lucky) to a few days, or to a week at most.
The trouble with the eStore is that it can be slow and can be unreliable, if it fails to track etc, you would need to raise a claim, etc.
