Been collecting Avios for a few years and for the longest time I thought it was just flights, hotels, Uber etc. Didn’t even realise BA Shopping existed until recently.
Once I found out you could earn points at places like Boots, ASOS, Selfridges and loads of other retailers I already use, I was honestly annoyed at how much I’d been missing out on.
Biggest issue for me though — even when you know about it, you have to remember to activate it before checkout every time… and I kept forgetting.
So I ended up building a small extension for myself that:
- detects when you’re on a supported retailer
- shows the Avios rate
- reminds you if you get to checkout without activating
Curious — does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?
Happy to share it if anyone’s interested, just didn’t want to spam links here.
