Will BA allow me to apply a Barclays eVoucher to an existing booking?

[Barraclough]

Due to my incompetence I’d forgotten I had a BA Barclays eVoucher which expires at the end of the year. A couple of weeks ago I booked reward flights for November and unfortunately I won’t be able to fly again before the end of the year. My only hope, I think, is for BA to let me apply the eVoucher retrospectively to the existing booking. I could phone and ask of course but not all Customer Services staff may know the answer or be flexible (if allowed). I thought I’d ask here first in case anyone has had a similar problem or advice. To be honest I don’t hold out much hope that BA will allow it and the lesson for me is in ghuture to keep a proper record!

There is no mechanism to allow them to do that I’m afraid. If there are still reward seats available and you have enough avios you could make a new booking then cancel the existing one for limited cost. If you don’t have the avios, cancelling first then rebooking obviously comes with a risk someone else might sneak in before the refund gets processed.

What @AndrewT said with the addition that having only booked a November flight recently, there is a very good chance that the seats will not have come from the original T-355 allocation and might not go back into inventory.

Thanks @Andrew T and @Froggee. I’ll give cancelling then rebooking a try.

@Barraclough can you tell me how to view my evouchers on the BAEC page ?

@caba21, vouchers appesr on the book with avios search options page. You just tick the box next to the voucher you want to use. If your voucher(s) are not showing then there is likrly a problem you will need to call BA, amex or Barcs about.
