Start of the year and time for renewal of point collection programs. In recent weeks it has been the turn of the Coop points now approaching the expiration of strawberry points, Esselunga's loyalty program.
In this article:
We have explained in the past how to turn shopping points into Avios points, which is the currency of the loyalty program not only of British Airways, but also from Iberia and Vueling..
Why transfer to Avios
Generally, in Italy, point collections last one year, sometimes two. Then in case of non-use, the points expire and are lost. At TFC, we have repeatedly explained how the basis of travel hacking Is to maximize point collections.
Strawberry 2020 points can be accumulated until March 21 and must absolutely be spent by April 11. This means that within the first ten days of the month a decision will have to be made on how to use the points accumulated throughout the previous year.
How to use Esselunga points to travel
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
We now come to the most interesting aspect: the conversion of Fìdaty points to Avios points. The exchange rate is 1:1: 1,000 points accumulated with Esselunga gives you 1,000 points to use in Avios programs .
Just go to the Fìdaty Point most convenient to you, giving your British Airways Executive Club, Iberia Plus or Vueling Club customer code, to request the conversion (keep in mind that it can take up to 40 days to be credited).
The main advantage of Avios points is that never expire. Or rather, they last 36 months but all it takes is any transaction that changes the portfolio, even if only by 1 Avios, to renew the term for another 36 months.
