Quick Thoughts
The British Airways Avios shopping portal frequently offers good rates, so these double miles promotions can make a good deal great.
For example, their normal rate for GameStop is 5x which is higher than pretty much every other portal as it is. Until July 8th, that rate’s increased to 10x. 10x is a rate that rarely appears and when it has in the past, it’s always been through the Avios portal.
My personal favorite is GoDaddy as it means earning 30x Avios on domain renewals. I had to renew a few domains yesterday and it’s already tracked the 1,336 Avios from the ~$45 renewal fees.
Some other notable rates include:
- Sears at 12x
- Apple Store at 6x
- Overstock at 14x
- 1-800-Pet-Meds at 20x
- eBags at 20x
- Bass Pro at 10x
As always, compare the Avios portal rates to those listed on Cashback Monitor as even with this double miles promo, they don’t always have the highest rate.
One other thing – don’t be misled by the date listed on the retailer page. It says the double Avios rate is available until 08/07/2018. That’s because the day goes before the month in the UK, so the end date is July 8 rather than August 7.

Hi Greg. Could you get double Avios by buying the retailers gift card and double dip by using the gift card? With earning rates like these, that could be huge e.g., Sears at 24x.
It’s certainly possible, although it’ll depend on the retailer as to whether or not it tracks. The last data point in the FM Lab for Sears suggests miles won’t be earned when purchasing a gift card, although that was the United portal https://frequentmiler.com/laboratory/
If you’ve had success double dipping before though, it could be worth trying.
