The BA website provides links to the British Airways Avios eStore. In addition, there are the following links:

On the left hand side of the page, below the booking pod, there should be a pod entitled "Executive Club offers", and below that a pod entitled "Shop online and earn Avios". That's how to get to Gate 365.

Globaliser, thanks very much for the suggestion.
Unfortunately my BA.com Welcome Page doesn't have that link. When I log in there is an advertisement for the RBC Visa card below "Executive Club Offers" on the left hand side.
I don't know whether it is a browser issue (Chrome on Windows XP) or because I get a "Canadian" version of the Welcome Page.
Logically (or at least according to my logic) I would look for Gate 365 by going to the "Executive Club" tab, and then clicking on "Collecting Avios". But the only shopping that appears there is "Chic Outlet Shopping Village", and "High Life Shop".

If not, then maybe it just won't show for Canadian members (if that's what you are).

Thank you!
That link worked, for some reason I get a "page not found" in IE or Firefox (despite deleting cockies) when trying to access through my account.
I was delighted to see JD Sports ^ Now I have got me some Fred Perry as my personal Christmas gift

Different URL
I cannot access the store through either my EC account, or using the link provided above.
But I can access it using the URL provided in the T&Cs: www.shopping.ba.com

Any chance of being able to use this from a non-US or non-UK country some day?
I can use the shopping sites from both UA and AS, though I'd rather collect Avios.

Great job BA! The new 'Gate 365' shopping portal has so far been a much better shopping experience than eStore! However, the Avios earned needs to fluctuate and be much higher than 12:1 to remain competitive with other airline portal shopping sites.

I've bought a few things so far from G365, mainly because of the free Avios and no price increase - the only concern I have though is while the click throughs are being recorded, the actual transaction isn't.
I know with VS they just ask for confirmation of the order and they manually add the points, so I just hope that BA do the same.
