We find it definitely worth having. If you target the spend you can make a good saving - or fly a trip which you might not otherwise have afforded, but you do need the pool of avios as well as the voucher. Sometimes it is not much of a saving eg around £1100 in taxes for 2 CW returns to South Africa, then along comes a BA sale with AMS-JNB fares at about £1100 per person - but of course you can then cancel your reward booking and get the avios and the voucher back. Bear in mind the main limitation of the voucher which is that it has to be from UK and on BA metal only. But availability to USA is usually pretty good and we have achieved one or more 241 trips to N America each year up to now.
