Hi...

I recently downgraded from BA Platinum to the basic blue card..... but now want to cancel to reset the 2 year clock, as I'm now a supplemental platinum cardholder on my partner's card. I have two unused vouchers at the moment.

The Amex rep has said the terms and conditions of my vouchers state that they have to be used with my (now blue) card and I should not cancel it. They were earned with my now cancelled platinum card this doesn't make much sense.

Given I still have a platinum (supplmental) card in my name so is there any risk in just going ahead and cancelling to reset the clock? I've read other discussions confirming downgrading is not an issue but can't find anything about cancelling the card.

Thanks

Any 241 vouchers can be redeemed with any AMEX card online - there's no checks - just has to be any AMEX in your name

Mikeyfly is correct; in theory you need to use the AMEX that earned the voucher, to pay the fees on redemption using that voucher, but in practice any AMEX will do fine. I don't even think it even has to be in your name, pretty sure I used my AMEX on my wife's 241.
