Share this post

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 3 offers that end in the next week.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are 3 offers that end soon.  Up first, British Airways is offering a 50% discount, depending on the number of British Airways Avios you purchase.  This offer expires tomorrow – January 19.
