I’ve been wondering about this as well

It worked. But it was an exhausting process. I was in Vancouver when I needed to book so called the US number but still got UK . First guy was very helpful but then decided that he couldn’t do it because the system wouldn’t book California flights with a Barclays voucher. I was on the phone over an hour, well Skype, so got cut off. Called again and next person couldn’t do it either.
On the third attempt the lovely Welsh lady did it no problem.
I’m guessing that not too many of the BA staff have done this yet and are therefore baffled by it.
I was totally confused with costs, on my BA app, the miles were deducted and refunded no less than 13 times. I assume that was the guy trying to do multiple times. In the end I paid 47,500 Avios for LHR to MIA and then that was refunded and I was charged 115,000 for both legs, returning from San Diego. I think that’s right, but was past caring at this point.
£225 each way.
No problem at all for one of us to go to and from Newcastle but it was a separate booking and a separate voucher,

So yes it can be done ! But strap in and have coffee and snacks because it was a very, very long process.

I have one more Barclays voucher to use but won’t be getting any more. The Amex 241 is much easier.
