How many Avios do you have?

[eek]

Same as sadguru's Toyota...

Followed one of those out of town this afternoon. Blooming heck its ugly from the back

Oh and slow if my mini can overtake that easily.

That was sadguru's missus.

Ok, just starting to get into the swing of AVIOS, I have an AVIOS account and a BA Exec Club account, do I need keep them both active once every three years, or if I plough all my points into one the other will also stay active as I can share the points between the two, or would it be best once a year swap the points between the two?

As a reward scheme Avios / BA miles allows you to get access to loads of cool rewards apart from flights.

For example 8000 points is a case of 20 beers or
12500 12 bottles of wine.

I recently hit 500k of the bloody things which means the mother of all parties. If we cOmbined them what could we get?

How many have you got?

I've got a few from travelling up to Edinburgh, but nothing like your amount.

Are the accounts not linked?

Yes, you need to keep them active, either earning or spending.
Depending on your BA account, you might find you are charged to transfer from one to the other.

200k of them this year so far.

The two are linked, I can move them from one to another, just curious to know if I need to use both every three years, suppose it won't be too hard to use both of them, the Amex Card will go into one and Club Card the other

I'm in the same boat with all the Milan trips

As long as you accumulate them it's not a problem. Plus if stuck, just transfer a few into your Avios account.

The BA one is useful for booking flights/upgrades/experiences on BA, but all of the goodies are on the Avios site.

I would also suggest your wife getting a card, then you can use a referral bonus, plus double bubble. Check out the BA Card companion voucher scheme as well.
