It's always cheaper to throw away the voucher than to use it on a trip you don't want to make and/or don't have time to make.
Yes agree with this. We had one expiring in November last year; but as we were getting married and going on honeymoon in December, there was no way we could justify a trip. We certainly never struggle to hit the £10k trigger so no forced spend to get it. I guess there was potentially a loss relating to the annual card fee, but the extra Avios essentially cover that. I'm trying to plan a bit better going forward though.
