Avios Reminder

A Chrome Extension to notify you when you're on a site that can reward you with Avios for your purchase

Chrome Web Store URL

How it works

1. The extension checks to see if the company of the site you're on has an Avios partnership
2. If it does, a popup will appear to let you know.
3. If you're already logged in, the extension will auto-collect Avios for you.
4. Otherwise, click the button on the popup and click through to the retailer yourself!
