At £20 of Avios for a £1 I would think it is a mistake, but you can get it and if they don't pay out you can cancel the agreement and get a refund

The thing is I've had a look at other partner airlines Avios earning sites also and it also states it there too (Unless they all use the same feed for the avios eStore, then it makes complete sense they're all the same.) ... I thought it was too good to be true, but couldn't miss out if it wasn't so I guess we'll see!

I've jumped on it.

14 days to claim a refund if it doesn't look like its going to be honoured.

Was running a little avios light to make the most of the next 2-4-1 but if this comes good it's First all the way!

It will be 2000 for any membership, I’m guessing.

That’s what it looks like on the Vueling page in mobile view

It's one of those 'clearly an error' things. The question is, will the Avios e-store honour it?

Yeah that's literally just been changed. I've got screenshots of the Vueling page and their Avios Calculator stating 2000/£1 and like 350,000 points for £194 worth of cover

£414 policy should be 828,000 avios, that'll do me nicely

Obviously an error but guess they should have better checks in place, should be made to honour it as that’s only reason people brought with RAC 😂

I will just cancel mine if they don’t honour it

On the "Executive Club" app it shows as 2,000 Avios / £1 but on the online shop on my desktop it just shows as 2,000 Avios.

When I tap on it in the app it takes me to the page listing the details and simply states 2,000 Avios.

It looks like it has been corrected to a flat 2,000 for any purchase now.

It was an error and it has now been corrected.

I made sure I took a screenshot showing 2000/£1
