I tried to speak to the complaints team, and they insist that the voucher is in his name - the thing is we're not on the greatest speaking terms, and I can't exactly go 4-5 months later saying oh you owe me money for something you never used. I am sort of in this situation, where everything has come off my own cards, but the money has been returned to someone else during the refund process and BA refuses to assist me saying:
"Our Future Travel Vouchers allow for a future booking to be made in the name of the person on the original ticket. When there is more than one passenger, each person receives their own voucher to use. We appreciate the frustration this has caused, especially as you paid for the whole booking, but I'm afraid the Future Travel Vouchers are non-transferable."
This isn't a case of being non-transferable, this is a case of them issuing someone else with my money and now refusing to correct their issue.
As
c-w-s says, getting a FTV was
not the same as getting a refund. The process is a bit like stripping the specific flight details off the (non-transferable) ticket that had been issued to each of you, and each of you being able to reuse the (non-transferable) ticket to book a different flight in the future. No money has been refunded or returned to anyone.
