Airlines are being very careful to only cancel outside of the 14 day deadline

If you had poked your head in the Ryanair and/or Easyjet threads you would soon learn this statement is, with all due respect, total garbage.

So in all this, they can only get you to accept compensation via vouchers with your signed agreement.  They certainly don't have that from me.  If I need to, I'll be quoting all this in my comms with Amex to support my S75 claim.

You won't get any compensation, what you want is a refund (reimbursement).

I misspoke - I don't want compensation, just a refund of the tickets.  Corrected post

The points I quoted say a refund should be applied as per the compensation rules, which allows a voucher, but only with your express signed agreement.  Air Canada are insisting on vouchers and ignoring the requirement for a cash, bank transfers, cheque and "other services" (I presume refund CC).

Totally agree then
