2019 POUG rate tracker
Please add your own successful results to the follow list including the month/year when the POUG was offered to you. Please delete any figures from 2018 or earlier if you have a 2019 price. Previous data lives on via post 2.
UPDATED TO: Post #9
POUGs are offered via BA.com and the App Manage My Booking via a distinctive banner (example from MMB below). You cannot get a POUG by telephoning, however the service centres can complete a POUG which falls over mid transaction. They are offered on cash and Avios redemptions but typically not on complex routings, BA Holidays or travel agency bookings until OLCI stage. POUGs on Avios redemptions won't get you additional TPs/Avios, but they will on revenue tickets.

Short haul routes from LON to/from Europe
A price in pounds indicates a ticket issued from London, other currencies indicate prices for tickets issued overseas (e.g. singles or returns originating from CDG priced in Euros). Multiple prices indicate a range of fares are on offer. Note that LCY prices currently seem to be on a different basis to LGW and LHR (cheaper, in other words).

Can't edit wiki (below post count) but being offered 79 LHR-BRU in 3 weeks time (2pax)
Don't think it'll be something I take up though, have enough baggage and F lounge access as is, I think the exit row legroom is probably preferable to what I assume is a very limited service on a very short flight.

LHR - BOS US$351 for WT to WT+. WT was blissfully empty so most had their own rows to stretch out on.

Confident this has probably been answered a few times but apologies as I havent been through the thread.
Are these offers likely to come down nearer flight time in peoples experience? Have a 499 offer to IAD from WTP to CW in April. Not bad but would be very tempted if a bit less. Any insight appreciated

Hi folks. I'm flying into one US city, and out of a different one next month (ORD and IAD if that matters). Is that deemed to be a 'complex itinerary', hence no POUG offer? Keen to upgrade WTP to CW on either leg to keep gold. Thanks!
