How does BA American Express Companion Voucher Work?
What is a British Airways Companion Voucher?
Companion vouchers are earned by the traveller by meeting minimum spend targets on Amex credit cards
The companion voucher is accessible online as an e-voucher via the travellers BA executive club account.
So you’ll need the exec number and password. When you log-in you’ll see the companion voucher and its expiry date.
How to use a companion voucher
The Companion Voucher allows the main British Airways American Express account holder, when making a flight booking using Avios, to book another seat on the journey for a Companion without having to pay the Avios flight price for that Companion.
If the member has 2 vouchers they can take 2 people at the same price!
The account holder will have to pay the tax and fuel surcharges etc which can, for a long haul business class ticket cost typically £500+
Both travellers have to travel in the same cabin (class) and travel together.
The BA site does not allow you to book Avios tickets out to one city and back from another. You’ll need to call BA. (example: If you want London to Shanghai and Beijing to London) In travel speak this is called an open jaw ticket.
