Forums Payment cards American Express Cancelling BA Premium Plus card with negative Avios balance?

  • al_wiltshire 27 posts

    During covid we had a couple of cancelled flights which, after being tied up in a BA ‘future travel voucher’, eventually made it back onto our BAPP. We’d long since paid off the card, so the card sat with a negative avios balance of about 3000. Since then, spend has been going through other cards as I haven’t been able to use the companion vouchers that I already have. The cost of the card isn’t making sense.

    If I cancel that card, what happens to the negative balance? Is there a fee Amex have for this sort of situation?

    Thanks. The flights were booked amongst lots of other normal spend, so there’s no gaming of the system going on.
