You can get the bonus, but you need the same (possibly fake) British address on your TCB & Avios accounts to transfer to Avios. Otherwise, you have to settle for £10 (~$13) cash into your PayPal, or maybe one other option.

So no Avios payout if the address of TCB is different from the address of the BAEC membership? Bollocks...

Correct, WorldLux! Mine was rejected for that exact reason :( .

Hi, So I just signed up for this. Do I have to just spend £10 to trigger the Avios or do I need to spend enough to get £10 cashback?

You simply need to sign up and SPEND £10 to benefit from the bonus. You do not to earn £10 in cashback.

Incidentally there's a boosted sign up bonus until 5 November - £15 (or 1575 Avios) bonus cashback when you spend £10 at any merchant on site.

After 5 November the bonus reverts to £10 (or 1050 Avios) bonus cashback when you spend £10.

Ok, so I just bought some books at WHSMith and got an email from TCB. How do I get the Avios? When I click on payout, all options are greyed out, including the Avios one. I have put my Avios number in my payout details (after I had purchased). What now?

72hours wait ... (and you need to confirm the change. You should've an email by TCB).

Ok, so we are more than 72 hours later but still the Avios are greyed out. The cashback stays "pending". I also bought a coach ticket via TCB but still no possibility to get my free Avios.

Weird. The pay-out was available after the 72 hours in my case and the avios transfer took about 3 days.

Well, my cashback from January 16 was finally confirmed today (but still not available to collect), after being "pending" for more than 10 months. This is not a site for impatient people.

I purcased for GBP 10,- and have GBP 0,20 for payout now. No sign that i can grab the 1050 now.
