Martin Lewis has issued a warning to all British Airways passengers, alerting them to a cash pot of £117million in unredeemed eVouchers. According to the money-saving expert, 52, more than €139 million (£117 million) in British Airways eVouchers are soon set to expire - and customers of the airline should act fast to secure them.
During the pandemic, the airline granted customers the ability to cancel their flights in exchange for eVouchers to be spent at a later date. Additionally, those whose flights were cancelled were given the option of a full cash refund, or an eVoucher - though this is no longer currently available to passengers now.
British Airways previously said that customers with vouchers would need to have used up their eVocuhers by April 2022 - though this deadline has been extended several times. Since this initial date was set, the airline has pushed back the deadline four times - with Martin warning that there is no promise of another deadline being added.
Martin's Money Saving Expert team urged customers who took the option of an eVoucher four years ago, to check their eligibility to ensure they don't lose any unused vouchers. The team urged: ‘The safest option is to redeem your voucher in good time to ensure you don’t lose out.’.
