Even though Emirates have pulled the plug on flights (save for 'repatriation' purposes on a few select routes), they are only offering a refund under the same terms as if I had cancelled for whatever reason, which means £0 on two legs of the journey for me and SWMBO and only a nominal sum on the other two. Otherwise I can get a voucher for the full value to be used within 12 months form the date of issue (not date of last flight), which in effect wouldn't allow us to travel in April next year which is unacceptable in my book.
So I've asked Barclaycard whether the non-delivery of a contracted service would be eligible for their purchase protection scheme. Watch this space.

Same here with Emirates Holidays, voucher to be used. I’m claiming with my travel insurance as it should be covered. Have emailed Emirates saying I don’t want the voucher.
We're in the same situation - rented a holiday house in the centre of York for a week in May and paid the balance of the booking 3 weeks ago.We have to make the full payment on the Cornish cottage we're renting for the summer in May and I'm beginning to think going through with that may be doubtful.
I'm thinking going on holiday but unsure where yet, here's a list. Thoughts?View attachment 1273576

Emirates have changed their tune a bit.
You can get a voucher for the full value valid for 12 months from the date of issue, and then once the 12 months is up, you can either extend for another 12 months or get a full refund at that time. Better than nowt which I was looking at.
Just had a confirmation that Emirates are processing full refunds after all. After the above example, their site changed stating vouchers only. Then swapped back again. And now they are going to issue a full refund without waiting for the 12 months. Well done Emirates!

I'm pleased for you!Got a full refund amount back into my Barclaycard.
