Forums Payment cards Barclaycard Avios How flexible is the upgrade voucher (open-jaw, mixed class)?

  • 89 posts

    Hi all, planning a road trip in the States next year most likely starting in Vegas and ending in Denver (or vice versa). I think I’ll only be able to spare the Avios for CW one direction and WT+ the other.

    Any idea if I phone up BAEC whether I can book:

    A) an open jaw booking eg LHR-LAS / DEN-LHR

    And B) whether I could fly CW outbound vs WT+ home?

    Thanks!

    You need to call BAEC anyway to book an open jaw so just ask them when you do that.

    I can’t see any reason why you can’t use the Barclays voucher like this – as long as all the other rules are followed.

    The open jaw element is definitely ok.

    Re the mixed cabins, I think this has been asked in the dedicated thread a couple of times but I’m not sure if anyone has actually done it yet.

    It should be possible (unless it’s specifically ruled out in the Ts and Cs), but would require a phone call to book (which you have to anyway for the open jaw).

    Open jaw isn’t a problem but can’t be done online you have to call. Did it earlier this year no problem.
