Rob personally boasts over 1 million Avios points, 1 million Virgin Flying Club miles and over 6 million airline, hotel and credit card points. He created HeadForPoints.com as a platform to share his ideas on how to get the best value from these loyalty assets, and now boasts an extra-ordinary community of 50,000 UK travel consumers who all love being recognised and rewarded for their loyalty!
