Flights are often considered the main way to rack up points and miles. However, with all travel paused due to the coronavirus pandemic, this is no longer an option. Nicky Kelvin from The


Points Guy UK has revealed an unlikely way Britons can earn Avios points from home during lockdown. Kelvin revealed that those keen to build on their points and miles should consider


airlines shopping portals. “If you’re looking to earn points or miles and you ever shop online, signing up for a shopping portal is a no-brainer,” he exclusively told Express.co.uk.


“Airlines offer these online programs, which earn you rewards when you sign up and click through to a retailer from the portal (rather than simply going to a shop’s website directly).”


Shoppers need to be savvy about where they shop, however. READ MORE: FLIGHT SECRETS: THE UNLIKELY WAY YOU CAN GET UPGRADED “The number of bonus points or miles you’ll earn depends on the


retailer you’re shopping with as well as the shopping portal you use,” Kelvin explained. “Bonuses tend to be awarded as a multiplier of how many pounds you spend, though some offer a set


amount of when you click through a portal to sign up for a specific service. “Shopping portals are a great way to double-dip, and it’s always worth taking the extra few seconds to sign up


and then click through for all your subsequent online shopping sprees.” So what’s the best way of choosing what to sign up for? DON'T MISS Kelvin advised: “Choose the portal that will


earn you points or miles in your loyalty programs of choice, and don’t be afraid to sign up for more than one and compare earning rates at a specific store before you click through.” Below


are the current earning rates for the BA eStore: White Company – 5 Avios per £ Appleyard Flowers – 20 Avios per £ Soak and Sleep - 8 Avios per £ ASOS - 3 Avios per £ John Lewis – 2 Avios per


£ Argos - 2 Avios per £ Apple - 3 Avios per £ Nike - 7 Avios per £ The Body Shop - 6 Avios per £ Just Eat – 2 Avios per £ Union Coffee – 5 Avios per £ “For example, you can get 10 percent


back in the form of a statement credit on your next Morrisons food delivery,” pointed out Kelvin. “Plus, double-dipping could become triple-dipping when you utilise an Amex Offer, purchase


through a shopping portal and pay with a credit card. “In other words, you’ll save money or earn additional points on each of these three.”
