Transfer Choice Points to Avios
Choice Privileges has announced the launch of a new agreement with IAG Loyalty, owners of the global loyalty currency Avios.
Choice Privileges members will be able to access a wide range of redemption benefits, including the ability to convert points into the global loyalty currency Avios and redeem for reward flights and upgrades across IAG airlines: British Airways, Iberia, Vueling, and Aer Lingus.
While having new redemption options is always a good thing, the transfer rate is not that great. Choice Privileges members can redeem their points into Avios at a ratio of 5,000 points to 1,000 Avios.
If you do decide to use your Choice points this way, then you can redeem them for hotels, experiences, car rentals, charity donations, the British Airways Highlife shop, The Wine Flyer and BA Executive Club members can also use Avios for British Airways Holidays.Â
