Have a fab trip! See more... |
Thanks Mel!

Oh I'm definitely on a budget - don't let the class of travel fool you!

Interested in hearing more about your tips for building Avios as I’ll qualify for another 241 voucher this year but will need to boost the Avios points considerably as used most of them for this trip.
Grand Canyon trip is amazing, last one we did was with Pink Jeep tours and it included drive to canyon, stop at hoover dam, helicopter to base, boat trip up Colorado river and skywalk (entrance fee extra but we loved this). Have a great time. See more... |
That'll be a good trip - Dubai is great, although I've only ever been there for work.
I don't have any massively secret tips or anything - it's all based around churning cards between the 2 of us. I.e. I refer Ele for a Gold card (earning both a referral bonus for me and a spending bonus for her), then cancel mine, and 6 months later she refers me for it again ad-nauseum. Repeat for both the Gold Preferred Rewards Amex, and the BA Premium Amex. All day-to-day spends go on those cards, and anything I buy online is done via the Avios shopping portal.
There are rumours afoot that the 6 month window for re-applying is going to become a lot longer though, which will make it all a LOT harder. If they do that, I'll probably give up collecting them. I've got one more voucher to trigger imminently, and enough Avios to get to NYC and back in Club.
