What to do with a companion voucher?

[opusman]

I have a BA companion voucher for the first time (via BA Amex card).

It expires in ~10 months time, but I have no plans to go to the UK in that time.

Is there anything I can do with it at all or is it just going to have to expire?

You can book it by that date for a flight up to 12 months after that, if that helps.

The first leg has to be taken before the voucher expiry though (not just booked), it's caught a few people out.
