They might refund the purchaser and not meInteresting question. As the voucher was purchased before the change in the law, I'm not sure if the new five-year expiry rule applies. Perhaps existing vouchers were grandfathered in?
If I were devious (!), I might perhaps book a flight for €150 to somewhere for late April/early May and then wait for the inevitable cancellation and full refund...
I have vouchers that run out in December 2020. What happened with your vouchers?I got a voucher for €150 for my birthday last June with a 1 year expiry. I could book a flight for later in the year (for when?). Without knowing when normal service will resume have Ryanair extended the term of validity of their vouchers or should I book before June and just reschedule if air travel is not back to normal by the time I'm due to travel?
If they were purchased June 2020 then they should have an expiry date of 5 years. New rules came in last December.I got a voucher for €150 for my birthday last June with a 1 year expiry.
There is a difference between an airline voucher and a gift voucher.I accepted a voucher in June 2020 and the expiry date is May 21. So not bad really and it suits me.
I would be interested to know when your flights were due to take place in 2020.I accepted a voucher in June 2020 and the expiry date is May 21. So not bad really and it suits me.
If they were purchased on or after 2nd December 2019 they must have a 5 year expiry date. Before December 2019 they will probably expire after one year. Depends on the company.I have vouchers that run out in December 2020. What happened with your vouchers?

Credit note If you return an item to a store and receive a voucher or credit note, it is not considered a gift voucher under the legislation. Excluded
I assumed Mickey43 was referring to a gift voucher and not an airline voucher as he was replying to this comment "I got a voucher for €150 for my birthday last June with a 1 year expiry".These vouchers are effectively credit notes, so the 5 year rule for gift vouchers won't apply. You link above covers this:

Just an update. The CCPC, after a bit of persuasion have agreed to investigate the way Ryanair are dealing with Gift Vouchers that were used to purchase flights, that were subsequently cancelled by Ryanair. Ryanair, in my case, only put a use by date of 4 months on new replacement gift vouchers. They appear to be putting one year on their Airline Vouchers (credit notes).Actually yeah, not clear which type he was referring to, thread was started with gift vouchers, then not sure with Mickey43 and definitely credit note variety with joer.

My point is that they should be issued with a 5 year expiry date on them.
