I’m assuming that BA won’t cancel our holiday until at least our balance date has passed? With this in mind we have decided to cut our loses and lose our £750 rather than pay the balance of £7,000 for fear of not getting the cash back and just being offered a voucher. When we cancel next week with the loss of deposit, given that BA cancellations are only up until 31st May at the moment, would we have any come back on trying to claim this back through our credit card company or, accept that we have lost the deposit altogether ... am assuming the latter?

Also many people have been told that final payment dates have been pushed back by 3 weeks, so I would call/ tweet and check that first. Then don’t cancel until the very last minute - there will be a good chance they’ll either cancel before payment is due, or extend the voucher dates so you could at least get that £750 back as a voucher.
