Have you been struggling to use your British Airways American Express 2-4-1 voucher this week?
Avios is currently running a redemption sale, which we covered here.
World Traveller and World Traveller Plus seats are reduced by 50%, whilst Club World and First Class require 10% fewer Avios. Normal taxes and charges still apply, unfortunately.
There were some technical issues on Thursday with the application of British Airways American Express 2-4-1 vouchers on sale fares. This confused some readers because we had specifically said in our article that 2-4-1 vouchers were accepted.
The situation has now been fixed, and BA Amex 2-4-1 vouchers can be redeemed without problems against Avios sale fares.
Don’t forget that there is also a 50% bonus when you buy Avios, if you are a little short of what you need. Full details are here and you can buy here.
