Best use of 2for1 voucher?
What's the best use of a BA UK Amex 2for1 voucher? Has anyone had any luck getting RTW or multicity tickets with it?
I've got around 300K BA miles, can easily pull in another 100-200k from SPG, MR etc. How did you use yours / how would you spend it?
Thanks!

A 241 can only be used on BA metal, not on other OneWorld airlines, franchises or code shares.
So RTW is not possible, as BA don't have any round the world routes.
Multi city is possible, as long as it is on BA metal.
Best value, is as far as possible, in First, or to the destination where the paid ticket price is the highest.
One routing I'd say fits the bill, is LHR - BKK - SYD - SIN - LHR in First.

I think one of the best value deals is LHR-LAX in F as that is only 150,000 miles for a couple of rather expensive tickets.

Best value I had from a 2-4-1 was LHR-JFK on Concorde and back in F 
- 160,000 miles IIRC (plus a little tax in those days). Not possible anymore, for obvious reasons. 
But agree with others - best value is to go where you want to, not neccessarily maxing out the miles or £ value!
But don't waste it on a short haul Y!!

We've used ours to CPT, JNB & GND on several occasions. As we're not over flush with miles we go J which is fine. However, remember that on popular routes you need to book early, just as you do with miles for upgrades.
