Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

10 more free Avios via Avios Suitcase

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

If you have been taking part in the Avios Suitcase ‘game’ on Facebook, another badge has been added.

Avios is getting less generous with this promotion as it goes along.  This new badge is only worth 10 Avios points.  In order to earn it, you need to share a badge on your Facebook timeline promoting the fact that you can earn points for joining car breakdown group RAC.

Avios Suitcase

You can adjust your Facebook settings at the point you share the badge so that only you see it, not your friends.

If you haven’t played Avios Suitcase before, you can earn a couple of hundred Avios points by completing all of the existing tasks.  I seem to have 15 badges now.  You can learn more about it in this article.

    Another company still trying to get to grips with social media!

    Someone must be doing the maths on this promo at Avios!

    • Andrew says:

      I’ve only been offered 17. I don’t have Paris, Rome or Stretch but do have one you don’t seem to have: Avios Adviser (share your Avios collection tip for 20 avios). I wonder what decides which stickers you’re offered

      • TimS says:

        I’m up to 22 stickers now.

        The 20 mentioned above plus Big Reward Nomination Last Chance (between Fathers Day & Paris) and Quiz New York (after Quiz Rome).

        I think some of them are only available for a short period, hence why some people have a different number.

  • MaltaPoints Tom says:

    This is actually a different competition – so it’s ANOTHER 50 free Avios: fill yer boots.

  • Brian says:

    No, as I said, this is ‘in addition to’ the one discussed before…Wouldn’t want people to miss out on 50 Avios…

  • Rob says:

    Yes, this is different. I am covering it tomorrow, currently in Dublin!

  • Morten says:

    Just a reminder that if you don’t feel like spamming your friends, when earning the badges, you can change the privacy settings for individual “shares” on fb, so that only you can see it. I’ve done this with all of them and I still receive the badges and the points.

  • Singing Dwarf says:

    This badge seems to be no longer available to those who don’t already have it?

    If anybody already has the badge, can they please click on it and then share the link – this worked for a previous badge that I had earned, but my wife no longer had access to.

  • sircrusticroc says:

    Can’t be rsed to get a FB a/c

    • Rob says:

      Very quick to set up a fake one – or the bare minimum of data to stop friends finding it.
