Generally, it's our stance that we don't recommend buying any miles speculatively. With that said, <strong>this is a great deal if you have a plan for using these Avios<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>On average, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/point-mile-values\/British\" rel=\"noopener\">AwardWallet users have redeemed their British Airways Avios for 2.55\u00a2 each<\/a>. Purchasing Avios at 1.2\u00a2 each is a no-brainer if you can turn around and redeem them at more than double the purchase rate.<\/p>\n<p>For some ideas on how you can use your British Airways Avios to redeem a sweet flight, check out our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/british-airways-club\/book-with-avios\/#How_To_Redeem_Avios_for_Maximum_Value\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">British Airways sweet spots post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It's also worth comparing the price to multiply your Avios through this promotion with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/british-airways-club\/buy-avios-points\/\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">the last deal British Airways ran for buying Avios<\/a>. Again, you'll see that this promotion provides better value. 1.2\u00a2 per Avios through this promotion beats the 1.64\u00a2 for buying British Airways Avios through the last offer.<\/p>\n<p>If you're a little bit short on Avios for an upcoming award redemption, this deal can certainly provide good value. If you were considering buying a ticket with cash, this can serve as a better option if you would spend less money buying the Avios for an award flight than you would spend buying the ticket outright.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Boosting_Your_Avios_Balance_for_Free\">Boosting Your Avios Balance for Free<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to boosting your Avios balance, you don\u2019t need to purchase them.

Multiple carriers share the currency, and you can transfer your Avios between programs freely and instantly. This flexibility lets you consolidate Avios balances from several programs into one to get you closer to your next redemption option. You can transfer Avios between the following airlines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aer Lingus<\/li>\n<li>British Airways<\/li>\n<li>Finnair<\/li>\n<li>Iberia<\/li>\n<li>Loganair<\/li>\n<li>Qatar Airways<\/li>\n<li>Vueling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/how-to-transfer-avios-between-accounts\/\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Transfer Avios Between Programs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whenever it comes to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/current-promotions-buy-points-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">point and miles purchase promotions<\/a>, the big question is, \u201cIs it worth it?\u201d In this case, if you need Avios and can lock in the best price, this is an excellent deal to boost your Avios balance. However, as with all points purchases, a big warning is you should never purchase points speculatively.
