While visiting my daughter I got caught out by Mexico being put on the UK's travel red list, and as BA wanted to charge me £7K for changing my flight I had to find another way back. I was doubtful that Barclays would reimburse me as the foreign office advice is rather ambiguous (though visiting a child was specified as OK at one point) but I put my case to Barclays calmly and truthfully (explaining that they could subtract my still usable inbound flight) and they reimbursed me (minus the excess of course).
