Shopping for the utmost Avios allowed at an 80% bonus:
The value of Avios is 1.56 US cents every.

My Privilege Membership account is within the US, whereas the Govt Membership one makes use of an handle in Europe.
Conclusion
There’s most likely higher Avios pricing accessible for members in Europe (GBP or Europe) if BA’s Avios gross sales are of any indication (their USD gross sales are at all times the costliest).
It makes zero sense to buy at this value when you should buy it significantly cheaper by BA and transfer to Qatar if wanted.
