On the other hand, I am contemplating adding him to my Friend/ Family list and making the booking for him but unsure if he were to cancel, would he get a full refund (without the £35 cancellation fee) as the booking was made this morning so well within 24 hrs of making the booking. Or will BA make him take a FTV and scrap the old rule of "within 24hr cancellation with full refund"?
Do you think it is too tight a schedule to try and get that one Avios as I don't think I have ever purchased from the BAeStore but my reading on this forum suggests it can be hit and miss? What would you do if in similar situation?
Thanks
This webpage still says full refund within 24 hours:

Your friend could try an eStore purchase, but also take an online survey at

but I'm not sure if either would post quickly enough.
And if your friend were to cancel today for a full refund, there is always the risk that redemption seats on his desired flights would evaporate by the time he qualified for RFS redemptions.
