Forums Payment cards Barclaycard Avios Cancelling flight booked with Barclays Upgrade Voucher and re-crediting voucher

  • 3 posts

    Hello everybody and thanks for reading my positing. I am looking to book a long-haul flight using points plus my Barclays upgrade voucher. My preferred dates are not available, so I’m thinking of booking alternative dates for now, and cancelling / re-booking should my preferred dates become available. On cancellation, I understand that points are re-credited immediately, but what about the upgrade voucher? Is that re-credited to your account immediately? My plan would be to cancel my current booking through the call centre (as its an open jaw ticket) and then immediately re-book for my preferred dates, if its possible for me to do that? Many thanks in advance for all your help.

    Possibly a question but if you’re calling the call centre anyway, why don’t you ask to change your existing booking?

    They should be able to do that. You’d be charged the £35 change fee and most likely the £15 off-line fee but well worth it on a long haul fare.

    I called BA to cancel my short haul for Avios and £1 to use on BA long haul. Much better use of voucher. Had the Avios near enough immediately and voucher back a few hours later to use again.
