Less Avios needed for more money off
 

Any ideas why?

I am guessing the top one should be "621 DKK off = 13,700 avios"

Ah yes that makes sense.

Well, it's ticketed now and it's only deducted 1370 from my account and the saving I got is as advertised. I just picked the highest saving, don't even know how DKK converts to GBP.

Is the fare guaranteed now it's ticketed or should I worry?

You are fine now. No need to worry.

On the other hand I am going to book some Cph tickets :D

I wish I had more to book but sadly this is a one off visit!

I really wish you hadn't posted this find :)

Together with the 28 ink cartridges I ordered this is turning into a really bad month for using up my Avios. Too many offers, not enough time.

Can we have the thread title changed to 'fewer'? :)

No, if for no other reason than to wind people up! That's part of my aim on FT: to wind up the pedants. Hopefully there will be less of them in future. :D

Consider this pedant wound up and ready to go sir :)

I really wish you wrote pedant's :D

Lol, their is a line though and I don't wan't to cross it - golfmad might report me and it might effect my account.

I'm not falling for that one.

But you would for this one? ;)

Fewer of that, please.

Actually 13,750 based on comparing with Norway and Sweden origins. It doesn't seem to be replicable anywhere else except ex-CPH, which could indicate that these discounts are entered manually.

This erroneous rate means BA is nominally buying the avios off you for 5p each, but IMO it doesn't make sense to use it unless your schedule is very inflexible and there is no RFS availability for the particular flight you want - otherwise it would be cheaper to just use RFS or take a different flight with a lower fare. This error appears to only be offered for flights in a medium Y bucket where the fare component is between about 800 and 980 DKK.

I also thought about doing a TP run, but can't find any CE fares in the necessary range.

On this occasion, there was no RFS available and the original fare was around £160 (cheapest of the day I needed) so was worth it for such a small number of Avios. But yes I see your point, I managed to get RFS on the outbound for 4500 and £17.50 by comparison.

Or peasants :D

13,750 is the correct amount
