I’ve got 500,000 odd Avios burning a hole in my pocket and seem unable to spend them. Various attempts have resulted in disappointment with BA cancelling flights and not offering suitably retimed flights. All leisure long hauls we are interested in are basically impossible for Avios redemption without a GGL joker, eg Easter 2023 to Barbados current lowest price cash tickets circa £5k each. A GGL joker would be invaluable here and make your cost of circa £3k to get to GGL look very good value….maybe I should have a look at the diary to see what can be done with TP runs!
You will also get more GUF1 /2 on your journey to GGL or wherever you may end up

They also are great where availability is scarce due to being able to book in other fare buckets
