Another CC voucher & FClub query.

Hi, I’m looking for advice.

In those good old days! I used to book flights and upgrade them using credit card vouchers, but the Flying Club has changed so much since I last made a booking.

I want to book two seats to Las Vegas for next April. I might return from Atlanta as we want to make a stop in Memphis (using internal flights).

I’m a silver member until August.

I have two credit card vouchers, one of which needs to be used by October.

I haven’t accrued many points in the past year, but I got another voucher after spending £20k. I don’t have enough points for two reward flights.

In the past, I’d book two PE seats using points and then upgrade with vouchers. Nice and simple.

So if I book two PE seats with cash, can I use my vouchers to upgrade the fares and how is that worked out.
They talk about cc voucher being worth either 75k or 150k in points . What’s that about.

2 x PE to Las Vegas & back via Atlanta will be £3198 cash and I’d like to upgrade to UC with vouchers?

(For info 2 x Upper Class Z fares = £5778)

PE reward fare = 332,000 points + £1198 fees etc which we do not have.

Any offers of advice would be very welcome, thanks.

Yes you can pay in cash for PE and use the vouchers to upgrade, as you are silver the vouchers are worth 150k each (only 75k for red)

If you’re paying cash the price in points to upgrade will be the price quoted in UC for your date minus the saver price for your route. I’ve found it really difficult to find reasonable prices for UC in vegas Mar-Sep but if you’re flexible with dates you might find something. There’s some dates in October 88k return in UC for example
