I have about 20k worth of avios points expiring in 2 weeks and wanted to ask what would be the easiest way to earn a few points just to extend the expiry for another 3 years. Any tips would greatly help. Currently looking at transferring Accor Rewards points to Qatar and then to avios but not sure if that method works.
 
An option on the spend side - can spend 650 avios in an experience - a “self guided walking tour” which would keep them active. May be easier than trying to find an earn opportunity.

Have you got a link for that? That's a wonderful and cheap idea.
 
There is another thread about this


If you buy something it will take more than two weeks to show up so you will need to spend

https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/executive-club/spending-avios Here is the link to spending Avios

If you know someone else with Avios you may be able to send them some or get them to send some to you

Your Avios stay with you as long as you collect, spend, purchase or share at least one Avios every 36 months — any longer and your Avios will expire and be removed, so remember to take action before those three years are up.

Good luck

You need to login to your account and then go to spend avios, then Book an Experience. Pick London as your destination, sort by price and you should get a Shoreditch walking tour at the top of the list.

Think it worked. Thanks so much. I'll call them tonight to double check.

Got it extended based on dajop's advice. This community is great!
 
Jumping on this thread, hope someone can help me.

My last BAEC transaction is 12-Dec-22: Collection: Qatar Exchange - 1,000 Avios.

My previous one before that is 26-May-20 Finance Card: LLOYDS BANKING GROUP AVIOS AWARD - 35 Avios.

Will my Avios expire in May 2023 or do I have 3 years from the QR Avios transfer? I suspect the latter doesn't count.

Thanks!
