We're an independent website that features hotel, flight and lounge reviews, alongside news and tips on how to make the most out of your points. We're based in the UK, so we're more likely to be talking about Avios and Virgin points, and we cover both consumer and SME points collection. Like most other travellers we're on a constant lookout to see how we can make more from our points, or find new ways to collect them.
Since we started collecting points with the original BA Amex card we've learnt a lot and made some mistakes along the way. Our site is here to help you avoid those, and get the most from your points.
