2,600 expiring Avios - let them go ?
I know that 2,600 Avios barely constitutes a blip on the BA radar but I hate to waste things, even with negligible value. So can I buy a Snickers with them?
Creative thoughts appreciated.

Buy a further 2k and use them for a RFS?
For eligible holders of small numbers of Avios that usually represents the best value, and with good availability at the moment may still represent a better bet than a cash fare.

Buy something on the eStore to earn a few Avios and reset the expiry timer?

OP, importantly what timescale will they expire- some of the suggestions, although great, take time to feed through to BAEC, so buying a few Avios or spending them may be the options actually available to maintain their value.

1. You would be on a flight which in itself would reset your expiry date
2. Buy on board isn't running at the moment
So, as with many of my posts, best not to spend too long on it
