    Out of interest …. I didn’t realise that Lloyd’s CC UG vouchers are still being issued – can you confirm this please? We’ve had a Lloyd’s Avios CC for many years and until recently, hadn’t realised we’d been missing out on the. UG 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ , but was sure, somewhere, I’d read they were no longer available ?
    Thanks, A

      I saw on FT that these were being extended but you had to call 03444933349which answered immediately. only extending March and April expiring vouchers at present, said they were still being issued on the lloyds avios card – I will find out in next 4 weeks as I have just crossed £7k since Jan 1st. (if that is indeed the qualifying date – calendar year apparently)

  Will my gold card be extended for another year? There is no way I will be able to achieve 1500 points now all of my conferences have been cancelled for the year.

  OT… emirates Holidays cancelled my late May holiday yesterday and are only offering a voucher to use by Sep-20..(Dubai in summer,,, Scorchio)..I am surprised that there is not more news / advice on this. I think as it is Atol protected.. we should get a full cash refund..

  Very surprised this morning. Voucher earned on 6 May 19 extended to 6 Nov 21. Used this for a 2 for 1 Far East trip and the flights were cancelled by BA. Today received an email with two voucher numbers to replace the cancelled voucher. I am assuming that one is the 2 for 1 voucher and the other is a credit for the APD and taxes but no explanation. I now have to use the replacement voucher within 12 months of the date of the first flight on my original booking, by 12 April 21. This lessens the validity of the origin voucher. What can I do?

  Sorry, I meant to mention that I have not received a refund of Avios to my account for the original flights.

  mine was due to expire on Friday this week and was extended automatically to September. Still probably won’t use it by then but nice of them to give us a bit of time.

  Do we have any clarification or updates regarding BA On Business points? Thousands of points that were due to expire at end of 2019, were used to buy flights in 2020 which are now cancelled due to Covid-19. Those points have now obviously expired – Is there any talk of extending the hard expiry date for On Business points due to current situation?

    No, not heard anything. OB was due for a massive shake-up anyway.

      Just checked with the OB team, they will refund the points for flights cancelled and add them to the points expiring end-2020. Seems reasonable and fair instead of just losing the points outright due to their original end-2019 expiry date. Perhaps worth flagging to others.

  Hi, We have flights booked using a 2-4-1. I do not know when that voucher was due to end. Is there a way to find this out before cancelling or will I only know the new expiry date, once I cancel?
