Reply To: BA ultra late refund / Amex issue

[Frans]

Except I’m now at £-2000 for my spend and retention spend targets, when I shouldn’t be. Since this was paid after I earned my voucher last year.

I just had the same happen, that’s why I suggested it. My account went to -£980 because of a refund from BA. I’m not using the card until my new year starts. I asked Amex and I got that refunded to my bank account and now my Amex account is £0. The only thing is that my Amex is now in “negative Avios” because those were clawed back.

If you ask for the £2000 to be transferred, your Amex account will also show £0 so you don’t have to spend £17,000. Am I missing something? Do you have to spend £2000 more because you wouldn’t have earned the voucher last year without this spend?
