Unexpected increase in Avios balance
Hi,
My Avios balance increased by 15,000 overnight. I have not flown BA (I credit too AA), not made any web purchase, not transferred.
Is there a way to see the Avios activity between a time period?
AA Advantage has that functionality.
Has anyone seen a similar unexpected increase?
Thanks team
[no I am not complaining, and I do not intend on contacting BA]

Log into your account and scroll to the bottom. After the Avios summary you will see a tab named see all transactions. Click there and you will be presented with further options.

I transfered 15000 SPG points to BA late August. They were posted as expected on Sep 1st.
The same amount (15,000) from 'Hotels' shows in my Avios balance on Sep 12th.

Last month we flew to Denver travelling out in Second and back in First. Since we booked a hire car as well, BA treated the whole thing as a holiday booking. Got all the points I was expected but also 11,156 described as "Miscellaneous - British Airways Holidays" as well as the 885 for the Avis booking. No idea what it was for but I am jolly grateful and will not increase the BA workload by asking!

You get 2 Avios per £1 spent on BA holidays at the moment, but that is sadly about to drop to 1 Avios per £1
