2 quick questions. If anyone knows the answers I'd be grateful...

1. Can I use Amex PE reward upgrade vouchers on an open jaw booking (out London to Boston and back to London from New York)?

2. I have 2 of these vouchers showing on my account. Can I pay for 3 legs using my miles and 1 leg using miles from my wife's account (we are both travelling) and then apply the vouchers from my account to upgrade both tickets?

Thanks for any advice.

1. yes 2.i dont think so

Yes to both

i regularly do open jaw to the US using miles

i have done the second option a couple of times using miles from two accounts and vouchers from mine. You can split the miles used from the 2 accounts but have to buy a full leg with each account.

Thanks both of you.

Keeping my fingers crossed that availability appears in PE for the dates we need!

1. yes.
2. No (I think!).

I've just booked four PE returns to JFK in August. 1 revenue, one full reward and two upgrade rewards using the vouchers.

Wanted Boston but absolutely no PE reward availability. Loads of availability as usual to New York.

I was informed when booking that the reward vouchers must be used on a return flight and can't be spilt.

Also when trying to use the vouchers I was told when I first rang that there had to be reward availability in economy and PE to use the vouchers.

On ringing back he next day I was informed that PE rewards were available and i could use the vouchers saving 40,000 miles on the 2 tickets.

If in doubt try another operator - I'm not convinced they are all up to speed with the rules of redemption flights.

No they're not up to speed with redmption rules v( .
The vouchers do not have to be used on a return flight as such (they can be used for a one way journey - you will forfeit the return part of the voucher and they cannot be used for two single journeys at different times). There only needs to be availablity in the P (PE reward seat) class bucket. Just to clarify the P fare is the old U fare.
