Question -- am I right in supposing that it is better NOT to submit that form, at least at this stage, since AC may then take the position that accepting that offer would negate or replace the EC261 claim?
I would say yes. I’d submit a claim for €600 and mention you didn’t use the white form.

AC moving from completing igniting their responsibility to advice people of their rights to trying to find a loophole to get away with a 10% off code base fare only?

Unless you are one of the few who can use one of these vouchers on longer haul J and don’t need the AQD the fact is for the vast majority of especially FOTSG Y flyers they are useless.
