Exclusively on BA (FRA-LHR-BHD-LHR-FRA). Last year, it was on BA too.
Last year, I made three award bookings on the same day with the same credit card. Two were ticketed (FRA-LHR-GLA, NCL-LHR-FRA), one was not (FRA-LHR-MAN-LHR-FRA).
I guess I'll start checking e-ticket numbers from now on
Edit: Just noticed a difference in confirmation emails. When ticketed, the confirmation email simply said "BA e-ticket receipt", without a separate reservation email. When not ticketed, the confirmation email said "BA travel reservation", promising a separate email with the e-ticket receipt (which never came).
