Finnair has today implemented another module for selling miles, “Subscribe to Avios,” which allows its frequent fliers to have miles deposited into their accounts monthly.

Finnair Plus members can choose between various monthly deposits. They can pay monthly or pay for the entire subscription period in one payment and get a discount.

You can access Finnair’s page for buying or subscribing to Avios here.

Pricing: Monthly Payments

Pricing: Yearly Payment

The price varies between 1.8 and 1.17 cents per Avios, depending on which package you sign up for and whether you choose monthly or yearly payment.

Conclusion

If you take the yearly package, you are essentially giving Finnair an unsecured loan. The Avios are deposited into your account monthly, and you have no idea what award availability and pricing will be in 12 months.

These Avios subscriptions allow you to buy more than the yearly cap of 200K.

But remember that you can link your various Avios accounts (BA/QR/IB/AY) through BA and move Avios freely between them, as there are no limits or costs associated with this.

Finnair’s award flight booking platform is very limited when it comes to partners, and the pricing is usually significantly higher than booking through British Airways or Qatar Airways. Luckily, you can link the accounts and book through BA/QR, which offers a better experience.

This “Subscribe to Avios” module is provided to Finnair by Points, which has a similar subscription product adopted by several other airlines, such as Air France-KLM and British Airways.

I am sure that Finnair will soon also launch Avios Booster that allows members to “boost” (read buy even more Avios) their recently earned Avios at a price.

The price of Avios through the yearly subscription is reasonable, but you need to wait 12 months before you have all the miles in your account that you paid TODAY.

Frequently Asked Questions by Finnair:
