Is this peak creep or have off-peak dates for 2022 not yet been released?
Should I expect an automatic refund of the difference?
Assuming your flight is going via JNB?
That's an off peak date and there are no CPT-LHR on your dates as far as I can see, or indeed what I can see for the whole of January. There have been a few threads on this re CPT.
As your departing ex South Africa and not the UK feeder flights would not be included.
JNB-LHR on it's own and direct of course is 62,500 so the additional Avios is for that feeder flight. Hope that makes sense (and that's why your seeing 75,250?)
