Retailers boost their Avios earning rates on the avios.com eStore, often for just a few days. Avalert pings you the moment a rate rises, so you time your shopping and earn Avios faster.

When a retailer's Avios rate rises, you get a push notification, with a per-brand threshold if you only want the big ones.
Tap through to avios.com via the app and earn the boosted rate before it expires.
Rates flip-flop: they rise for a boost, then drop back, again and again. Open any retailer's flip-flop timeline to see the full history of every rise and drop we've recorded, so you can tell which brands boost often and judge whether today's rate is genuinely a good one. Built on our own recorded rates, not the eStore's transient figure.
An Avios boost is a temporary increase in how many Avios you earn per £1 when you shop at a retailer through the avios.com eStore. A retailer that normally gives 2 Avios/£1 might boost to 6 Avios/£1 for a few days. Avalert alerts you the moment a boost goes live so you can shop at the higher rate before it expires.
Shop via the avios.com eStore (the official Avios shopping portal) and time your purchases for when a retailer is boosted. Avalert tracks every retailer's earning rate and sends a push notification the moment it rises, so you buy at the peak rate instead of the standard one.
Avalert monitors the avios.com eStore continuously and notifies you the moment a retailer you follow raises its Avios earning rate. You can set a per-retailer threshold so you're only alerted for the big boosts.
The eStore's own "Was" figure is transient. It can change, or disappear entirely, between visits, so it isn't a reliable record of a retailer's normal rate. Avalert instead records each retailer's actual earning rate over time and shows the genuine pre-boost rate we last saw as the "was". That gives you a stable, honest baseline for judging how good a boost really is, even when the eStore's own "Was" label has already moved on. It also means the previous rate stays consistent across your alert, the retailer card, and search.
Yes. Avalert is free to track retailers and receive boost alerts. An optional Premium tier unlocks unlimited tracked retailers and global threshold alerts.
The avios.com eStore is the official Avios shopping portal. When you click through to a retailer from it and shop, you earn Avios on your spend. Retailers periodically boost their earning rates, and Avalert tells you exactly when.
Avalert covers three Avios eStores: the UK store (earn Avios per £1), the Ireland store (per €1), and the US store on the British Airways shopping portal (per $1). Choose one or more in the app's Store settings — it defaults to the store for your device's region, and you can show UK, Ireland and US results together with a tap.
No. Avalert never asks for your Avios or British Airways account login. It reads the public rate data from the avios.com eStore and alerts you; you shop through avios.com yourself. It is an independent tracker, not affiliated with Avios or IAG Loyalty.
