This is very interesting. I'm not sure why they never added +10 or +15% onto vouchers for
cancelled flights. I'd have taken vouchers over cash with some of my cancelled bookings.
How does this work out to offset cash bookings with avios? Does it make it more attractive than vouchers?
If you use Part Pay with Avios then don't do this, you're throwing money away, since Part Pay, outside any special offers, is usually around 0.7p per Avios, though there is usually an entry level amount of 1p per Avios. If you reduce your Avios on redemptions by increasing the cash amount then so long as you do the maths on the relevant implied exchange rate then yes, you too would benefit from this offer.
