Having a look at the #BritishAirways #Avios boosting offer and just realised the 109 Avios per £1 doesn't quite work out at that rate.
For these three, it comes up to 108.7 (to one decimal place) Avios per £1. I know it's not a lot, and this is why I feel I'm being petty. But at the same time, this is how big businesses sneakily screw people over, right?
E.g., at 109 Avios per £1, a boost of 128,215 Avios would actually cost £1,176.28. £3.30 less than the stated price.
Am I being petty?

Qatar Airways Privilege Club: Higher Avios Prices for Award Tickets within North America
https://travel-dealz.com/news/privilege-club-north-america-devaluation/

However, this price increase could easily be bypassed until now: Avios could be transferred 1:1 from […]

It’s been a whole two weeks since British Airways last devalued their Avios award miles. Time for the next devaluation, they thought in London. And so, the Brits have now tweaked another screw to further decrease the value of the miles. Effective immediately, award flights in British Airways’ premium economy & business class will cost […]
Once Again: Drastic Devaluation for Flights with American, Alaska & LATAM by the British Airways Executive Club
https://travel-dealz.com/news/executive-club-devaluation-american-alaska-latam/
Lately, British Airways seems to be making a habit of upsetting its frequent flyers. In just the past 12 months, there was first an (unannounced) mileage devaluation for flights with JAL and Cathay, and shortly thereafter, domestic flights in the US became more expensive. On top of that, there’s the switch to a spending-based mileage […]

Revenue-based earning is great…. for airlines. Passengers? Not so much?
British Airways made the move to revenue-based earning last year for its loyalty currency- Avios– and I had a quiet prediction for flyers like me, it only could spell bad news. But like everything, I needed hard data to play with – and rather than asking for it – I needed to gather my own. […]
