I think the monetary value is even less – I think if it as 7000 points that can be bought with approx £64 (@0.92p per Avios) using Avios Boost

The upgrade voucher can be worth up to 110,000 avios.

I used to say the Barclays Upgrade Voucher is hard to use given the inferior nature of it vs the BAPP voucher but I have just redeemed 2 separate vouchers on 2 Business Class redemptions: one for Singapore and one for Tokyo. These are historically tough routes to find but with flexibility – it can be done on the Barclays Upgrade Voucher.

Even with Silver status and Priority Pass; I’d still rate this as more than £800 of value; it will also give me the experience of flying Business Class long haul for the price of Economy; something that I wouldn’t have been able to afford.

Interested at your claim you can travel Club World (business) for the price of economy using this voucher?
Can you elaborate?

He means price of premium economy (as its a one class upgrade)..and remember you still pay business class taxes
