Not sure, there's nothing in the T&Cs excluding it, and vouchers are non-refundable so I don't see why not. Have you tried doing a dummy booking on the Avios site for a flight after your expiry date to see if it lets you get as far as the payment screens?
When i used my voucher, the discount was applied at the checkout and then all mention of the voucher disappears. After booking, there is no mention of the booking or Avios voucher on the avios.com site and nothing voucher related on the BA site if you type in the booking reference, so that makes me think it should be possible.

Just wondering if anyone has managed/tried this:
Flight I want is currently showing availability in WT+ (at WT avios pricing)
If I go ahead and book that (using the voucher), am I able to upgrade later on if CW availability opens up? And be charged WT+ Avios instead? Or is the voucher strictly a one-time use thing?

In the Lloyds T&C it says:
- Upgrade vouchers cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer and are non-transferable and non-refundable.

Has anyone got any recent experience of using the upgrade voucher on routes flown with the mid haul a321? Was thinking of using my upgrade voucher on LHR-TLV on a flight that uses the 2 class a321 - has anyone got away with paying the economy price for business seats seeing as there's no WT+?

I could be wrong as for the first time in several years I don't have a voucher hanging around to test this on ...

Afraid not... if you book WT+ using the voucher, you will only pay WT Avios. Avios bookings cannot be upgraded later and your voucher will have already been used.

Correct you will pay WT+ prices for a CW redemption using the voucher even though on some flights they don't operate that cabin!
