  Car rental – any decent Avios offers from the major players right now? Need a car for a couple of days next week

  Going to Split on holiday in August.

  Hertz is quoting c. £300 for a Golf-sized vehicle.

  Avisaba is about £200 including credit card charges…

    Yes, I’ve found that, too (plus often Avisba comes out cheaper than Avis).

    Plus with BA, you get the free additional driver and (I think: could be wrong) the double Avios if you pay with a BA Amex.

  £50 – (£7.50 x 6) = £5. You’re buying 500 avios for £5, no?

    I wouldn’t rely on vivino, someone has probably done the £50/6 calculation to generate a price point. It looks like a special bottling for vinoseleccion so difficult to compare prices directly, but CVNE are one of the most respected Rioja producers and they definitely won’t send out crap with their name on it.

    “Half price” is rather optimistic but a reserva from a oood producer would probably be £12-£15 a bottle. Even at the bottom of the range it’s a reasonable saving. I’ve ordered a case so will see how it runs.

  I am considering the Roija offer to activate my Iberia Plus account. Have also looked at transferring Amex MR instead and looks like the minimum allowed for transfer is 1,000 MR. Could anyone please advise what the approximate value of 1,000 MR is? Also, whether there is an alternative/cheaper way to get some activity in the Iberia Plus account?

  Thanks

    If you have any e-rewards points, transferring the required minimum number to Iberia will work. It’s a better exchange rate than BAEC or Avios anyway, so always worth sending them there.

    It doesn’t ‘cost’ you anything, really, because you can move the points across to BA afterwards so you still get to use them!

    In terms of ‘best use of Amex points’, airline miles are as good as it gets. If you think you can get 1p or more per Avios then you won’t beat that with any hotel or gift card transfers.

      Not forgetting the re-appearance of the Groupon deal

      BP go to IB a/c —> Plustore —> Groupon —> & you’ll see you can buy quite small quantities of Avios (been there 1 minute gone the next) – 2000 points would do it

      MR it is then! Thanks Rob, I didn’t think of it that way. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    Just got an email from Iberia. They’re doing the same Deliveroo deal as BA.
