Some of the destinations are really bugged...
For example, LON-CUN-LON peak dates in normal circumstances is 50k + taxes per pax, so 100k for 2 pax. With 2-4-1 it comes to 50k (100k/2). Then with 50% discount comes to 25k. But in reality, I see this:

We have a booking LHR-KUL-SYD-SIN-LHR that we pushed from may this year to next year. We then rebooked yesterday based on this offer. Question I have, chances of getting to Sydney are low. If we cancel the syd-sin. Will they have to rebook the whole trip...at the higher rates after the 13th. Or will they just be able to cancel that part of the trip. Don't want to be hit with double the avios.

Quick question for those who know more than I do. I used GUF that will expire in Nov 2020 (already extended 6 months previously from May 2020) in booking under this sale, for a flight next year. If I cancel my flight after Nov 2020, will my GUF be reinstated if so what will be the expiry date? I did a search and there seems to be a feedback from someone here that it will be extended for ANOTHER 12 months from the last expiry date? Is this BA's latest policy?

Have already paid for seat selection on a J booking for December...is there any chance I could take these over to a new booking?
Given the cost of the seats it might not be worth rebooking just to save some Avios.

I believe that you can with an FTV. Whether or not an FTV would be issued in time is another matter.

Super-helpful Agent, working from home in isolation as she has caught Covid-19! Separate Flight and Hotel bookings, with a reinstated 2-4-1 applied to the flights. JER-LON-PUJ in CE/CW for two cost £1018 + 68,300 Avios, which I guess is 50% off. Hotel cost was exactly the same as if I had booked direct with the hotel, but appears to earn 72,715 Avios! Both aspects charged in full, sadly, due to using the 2-4-1. Any cancellation would lead to Refund or Future Travel Voucher, but the 2-4-1 would NOT be extended as it already has had th 6-month extension.
Now to wait for numerous flight changes, as BA currently seems to be thinking of operating JER/LGW rotations by then!

How BA expects to make a profit I have no idea, but I think it’s fair to guess that someone in Waterside has actually done some detailed calculations, instead of using a dartboard.

A cry heard so often here. I have no idea what people actually except BA to charge, but I suppose they would like everything free.

Great sale jumped on two CW seats London to Seychelles with a 2-4-1 for just 62500 avios round trip.
Trying to cancel an avios booking from yesterday now (within 24 hours) Does anyone know if there is still a way to cancel avios bookings online, or will I have to call?

I have flown with some much superior C products in long haul while paying less than £100 in most cases. Singapore airlines, United, Swiss, Thai, Eva Air and more.
The difference is that many airlines are accepting the mile redemption as a loss for them and as a 'small gift' for the customer's loyalty. BA does not in many cases.
