Has anyone used their FC miles for VH vouchers? Is it worth it or am I mot maximising their potential by using them this way? Can you use them and still get the 5% discount on-line or via FC Au?

Thanks!

I think a lot depends on how many points you have in your account.

I know that other disagree, but am a firm believer that the best way to spend FC points is on UC seats to the west coast, but I accept that this is a big spend.

Comparing this:

It costs 10K points top get a £50 VH voucher, therefore 100K points would get you a £500 voucher.

100K points also gets you an Upper Class return trip to SFO. [;)][:D]

Thanks Nick.

We have about 90k between us at the moment so £450 off a holiday if we used them up now. I think I might hang out for a while and try and get enough for a PE return somewhere!

I have to say that I'm with Nick. I havent found anything other than flights that represents good value for my miles. A £450 saving on your holiday is very good, but if that is almost the same number of miles in redemption as a return UC flight then it may well be cheaper to book the holiday separately. I guess yo need to check out the various options and see what is best for you.

Thanks,
