BA Amex Vouchers - 6 People

My wife and I both have BA Amex cards and we will have three vouchers available - can we use all three vouchers for six people? I am a GGL member so would use my joker for six people.

Thanks!

Hello bdo21, I'd welcome you but I see you joined before me That said, welcome to the world of posting.

I think I'm right in saying that a Gold Guest List Redemption (joker) is only for us with up to 5 people on the same booking. Not sure whether there's any leeway on a sixth?

GGL Jokers are only good for 5 ...

But I'd believe you could use the vouchers. I've certainly combined vouchers of myself and my wife with a joker on one booking via GGL (although I was refused to do that now just gold).

You can only use 2x241 on the same booking. Although between you and your wife you could use all three, you cannot do this with a joker. Ideally you would need two flights to be available for your wife to book, and then use your joker to book the other 4. This would give you separate PNRs but would allow you to use all 3 vouchers.

I must be missing something but would'nt you only be able to use two as the cardholder(s) has to be part of it ??

You can use two (black card) vouchers in your own name on one booking for yourself+3 - this is a specific term to open the option for a group-of-4 booking. However the option isn't stretched to 3 vouchers in your own name.

That said - I wouldn't dismiss the OP's plan as being impossible (Joker limit of 5 notwithstanding).The 2x241 limit seems to specifically be for 2 of your own vouchers; we know you can use a wife's voucher on your own booking (to extend Joker coverage) so maybe they'll be willing/able to use the wife's as a third.

Thanks everyone - it sounds like I should book using my wife’s voucher with Avios for two and then immediately call BA to use my joker for the remaining four with two vouchers and ask them to allocate seats together.

Thanks!
