BMI Gold upgrade vouchers DO have value ....
BMI Gold upgrade vouchers DO have value, I've found ....
.... I just got £80 for a set of four on ebay ^ .
(Not entirely in the spirit of FT, I admit, but I pay for 95% of my travel out of my own pocket so have minimal guilt about offsetting part of the cost where I can.)
Anyone else with vouchers going spare and an expiring Gold card looming may want to consider this route. I also got £2 for a pair of Avis upgrade vouchers!

That's odd. Gold upgrade voucher at £20, Avis voucher at £1. Personally, I'd reverse those values.
You realise that's very unlikely as it's not a legitimate use of the voucher?

Wingnut if you want some Avis vouchers I got some you can have gratis they are of no use to me, our Co policy is we have to use Hertz the wallet.

The Gold upgrade vouchers have been selling on eBay for an average of about £18 per voucher for ages now.
In fact there is a couple for sale at the moment for £30 'buy it now'.
The Avis upgrade vouchers tend to very in what they achieve price wise, sometimes they sell for £1-2 or not at all, and sometimes I have seen them go for almost £30!

The AVIS I can use here and there in Thailand, I know they are only valid for Europe and the USA, but in Thailand they not look for the fineprint, and so they gave already many times an upgrade for the vouchers.
So let´s search wherein ebay I get the upgrades off.

Mind you, it's reassuring to know that a Blue Peter badge can go for more than a GUV. Is nothing sacred anymore?
