BA Amex - Year End Extension?
Hi All,
I have the BA PP and my year end is the 30th August, I still have about £100 to go before hitting the 10k companion voucher and have been purposefully holding off.
Do AMEX give extension's to the year end as really wanted one of the new vouchers that come in on the 1st September?
If not if I make my purchases on the 30th to take me over the 1 year will it auto issue the voucher that day or a couple days later when the transactions are cleared?
Thanks

If the spend is not confirmed until after your year end, then you risk not meeting the spend target before the deadline, and there is no way to fix that afterwards!
Sorry but I do not think you can achieve what you want. Amex won’t shift the date, and you will either meet the target by 30th August or you won’t. As a very long shot you might get very lucky if you meet the spend target (with confirmed transactions) on the last day and then your voucher is issued the next day in September, but that would be a glitch that nobody here could predict as this is a new situation for us all and it would be a big risk for you.

To OP I'd just trigger the voucher before 30 Aug and then consider downgrading if you don't want to pay the new fee of £250 which you will also incur after 1 September.

Ah, yes. I thought I was missing something.

Thanks for the replies,
I probably should have been a bit clearer, I can spend today on that card easily and take it over the requirement for the companion voucher but have been holding off to see if there was a way to get one of the new companion vouchers issued after September 1st as it's so close.
