I booked EDI-LHR-NRT in first on Thursday morning and the UK leg was free, cost 120,000 Avios.
Edit: that was using a 2-4-1. Waiting for T-355 for the return leg.

I was on the Amex site and I noticed that the BA Amex card no longer provides a 2-4-1 voucher at £20k spend,when did this enhancement land?

It has taken nearly an hour on the phone, but I have my flights booked, at the normal rates of 125,00 Avios.
Tax was £668 each. Sounds high?
Call centre were not aware there is an issue but have raised it now, apparently.

Assuming that you mean the free (blue) card, as you mention £20,000, the Amex site says:-Seems pretty unambiguous to me.

bear in mind there is no guarantee F seats are released at 355 days, unlike the commitment to release 2 j seats.

In actual fact, no enhancement landed at all.
