Accidentally triggered my BAPP voucher — what happens now?

[jay1804]

Hi everyone,

I intended to trigger the BAPP Companion Voucher closer to the October 31st deadline, but I accidentally activated it earlier.

I cancelled the transaction immediately, but it still posted to my account, which triggered the voucher to my BA account.

The voucher is now showing in my BA account, and my xxx spend tracker is currently below the target.

Does anyone know what might happen in this situation?

Congrats, you’ve triggered it.
Amex don’t claw them back.

Unless you spend that amount in your current year to bring you to zero, you will need to earn that much extra next anniversary year to make up for it.

I am going to meet the spending requirement, but I’ll probably cancel/downgrade, as I would have to wait till June 25 before any spending would count towards the voucher.
