1. I assume there needs to be availability both in the original cabin and the upgraded cabin? Or is it only the upgraded cabin?
2. I assume you need to apply the voucher at time of booking?
3. I assume you cannot combine with an Amex companion voucher?
4. I assume the upgrade voucher terms are the same for the Barclays premier account and this card?

It all sounds a little bit pointless if you already have companion vouchers, to be honest. Assuming you usually book for 2 people, its going to cost more avios to book for 2 then use the voucher than just booking outright with avios and use the 2-4-1 surely.

Trying to work out whether I'm missing anything there or not.
exactly the same conditions of the old Lloyds voucher. The way I have mostly used the Lloyds voucher (aside of the odd time that there was no availability on one of the legs), was to basically find availability for a CW return, then establish which of the two leg was more expensive, then call and book asking to apply the voucher to the more expensive leg and use entirely avios for the other leg. As the other user have mentioned, those are really a save Avios vouchers.

as I have already asked previously and got no response, it would be good to ascertain if two vouchers per booking can be used and thus if you can use on the same booking the Barclays Premier Avios voucher and this Barclaycard one ..
