How does a Joker + GUF2 voucher booking work for say 2 pax in First?

Does it open space in Business in D class for a Business redemption as long as 5 haven't already been released (Joker rules), then upgrade to First as long as the required number of A seats are left (GUF2 rules)? What happens if 5 seats in Business have already been released with other Jokers but D is still left on sale?

Does it open A seats on the flight and just process it as a simple Business miles + GUF2 voucher straight into F?

(Head For Points)

I'm not sure what 'opening up' D class means? Does it mean if D class is on-sale you're good regardless of whether another GGL has released seats? If D class is not on sale will they not release regardless? Will they release only 5 'joker' seats per flight and the D class piece is a red herring?

I'm not GGL currently but trying to understand the mechanics of how easy it will be to redeem.

For example if I wanted to do a Joker + GUF2 would I simply need to look for a flight with A2 D2 ? Or would I need there to have not been 5 jokers redeemed in either cabin?

Thanks in advance.

Still

If D class is available and no one has used the joker on the same flight(regardless how many seats taken), then you can use a joker for up to five D seats. To use GUF from J to F you only need A fares available IIRC. Hope this clarifies.

Thanks - so short of a call being made and something 'special' being done, the general mechanics of it is:

Nobody else using their joker on that flight but no D class available = no
5 joker seats released already but 9+ D class available = no
no/some joker seats and D class available = yes

And once you've got your biz seats you can just play the GUF2 into A class in F as normal.

Is there a way to check how many jokers one has left to be used in ba.com? I can't seem to find this, but really dread having to call GGL at the moment, as recent FT posts have indicated that they'd say they're too busy and just hang up on you to call back later.

You'll need to call or email but I've got through fairly quickly recently.

Is GGL achieved at 5000 TPs or has it been reduced by 25% TPs like Gold (Precovid 1,500 TPs now 1,125 TPs)? Thank you

Komodromou

Reduced till the 31st Dember 2022 then goes back to normal from Jan 1st

2358

So 3,750 tier points by December means if I have March year end I need 3,750 by December 31st or 5,000 by March?

and is it 3,000 and 2,250 for renewal?

thanks

Komodromou

Yes, that is correct! A whole lot easier getting the threshold as well with BAH double tier points imo

Egbg100

Im really tempted to attempt to go for the reduced threshold. My year end is May and there is some travel I want to book as well and the double BAH. I guess there will be no other time like this except having to hit the 5k which I don’t think is achievable for me right now but possibly maintaining lower may be feasible.

I have had gold only for 2 years before but lost it due to COVID so now a happy silver. Very tempted to push hard from May onwards.

For those GGL is it a case of once reached you Dont really want to give it up?

Gastrocnemius

Yes...

A couple quick questions -

1) can one hold award space using jokers as a GGL while they transfer in the required miles?

2) can you book a one way with a joker and 241 and then add the return later while still preserving the ability to force open space/use the 241?

Without wanting to draw attention to it, has anybody else had a few GUF vouchers unexpectedly post to their account over the weekend?
