Buying Avios from British Airways & Finnair:

You can buy Avios at roughly a bit higher than 1 euro cent through Avios Booster; BA buys Avios subscriptions or at 1.2 euro cents each during frequent sales at a 50% bonus.

• British Airways Launches Avios Booster (Another Way To Buy Miles)
• British Airways Launches Avios Subscriptions
• British Airways Buy Avios With 50% Bonus Through September 14, 2022

Finnair has had sales that have allowed everyone to buy Avios at 1.05 euro cents each, significantly less than the current Qatar Avios subscription price.

• Finnair Plus Buy Avios At 50% Discount Through November 20, 2024

Conclusion

You can probably buy Avios more cheaply through BA or Finnair during their frequent sales than through Qatar Airways, whose pricing doesn’t appear to be very competitive.

You need to remember that you can link these various Avios accounts through BA and freely transfer Avios between them without any fees.

So, you can, i.e., buy from Finnair and then transfer them to Qatar Airways through British Airways.

There can be later sales or additional discounts for these subscriptions, if what Points does with other airlines is of any indication.
