Amex 241 voucher - wife and child?
I am travelling Club World from LHR to KL shortly. My employers are paying for the flight. Mrs nollag and nollag junior want to join.
I have an Amex 241 companion voucher in my name, and my wife is named as an additional cardholder on the Amex account
Is it possible to transfer the companion voucher to my wife and child, and for me to go as a paid passenger? These will need to be on two seperate bookings, as my employer would be inflexible in any non-standard arrangement.
Thanks

I would say you have more chance convincing your employer to be flexible. It won’t cost them anymore money and they will have a grateful employee.

As per the main thread, the voucher holder must travel on the booking. T&Cs in first post

I think you'll struggle with getting your employer to change as a tax audit may flag this as any business travel where spouse/family come along is then treated as taxable.
We are very strict these days since I paid separately for my wife to come along to Russia with me but the invoice for our VISA's, (paid her bit ourselves), showed 2 VISA's had been purchased and our accountant advised this would be suspicious if audited. Seems crazy to me but I can see how it could be used by business owners as a tax dodge for holidays.

Even if this were allowed by BA (and it isn't) it would be out of order to put your wife's name on your work ticket for all kinds of reasons.
