As I understand it, if I want to use this voucher, I need to look for Avios availability in both classes of travel. So if I wanted to upgrade WT+ to CW, there needs to be Avios availability in both the classes on the same flight. Can someone confirm this please? Is there a way to upgrade cash bookings with this voucher?
Looks like the voucher can be used on a return tickets or two one-way journeys which is some sort of consolation I guess provided one does find availability.

Also, the voucher is valid only for a year and I didn't even know about its existence for over a month! Grumble grumble.
Is it not the case you need to book an expensive WT+ ticket in the first place, ie a T fare won't do?

I maybe incorrect but I believe that was one of the (many) reasons I binned the card off after the mega bonus period ended.
