Make sure you register to get triple the number of avios on all flights with BA, AA, or Iberia between September 6th and December 11 2016.

Ah, finally launched, I was waiting for this.

North America routes only, note. (EDIT: it seems not, see below)

Smacks of desperation a bit, they haven't even blocked cheapo fare classes.

However, this is the potentially tricky bit which may well be imposed this time:

"book and fly between 00:01 BST 6 September and 23:59 GMT 11 December 2016"

But it explicitly mentions short haul?

You could be right, usual dodgy BA wording in the main article - need to send a punctuation guide to Waterside! :

"You can earn triple Avios on all British Airways flights and when you fly with our partners American Airlines, Finnair and Iberia on flights between Europe and North America. The bonus Avios will be awarded before any cabin or tier bonuses on all tickets except reward flights."

but the T&C's are clearer (a bit):

4) Subject to Clause 6, a Qualifying Flight is a published or corporate negotiated net fare flight in any selling class or cabin on: (i) a BA prefix on a BA long-haul or short-haul operated service or (ii) a British Airways (BA), American Airlines (AA), Iberia (IB) or Finnair (AY) prefix transatlantic flight operated by BA, AA, IB, AY between the EU, Norway, Switzerland and North America, Mexico and Puerto Rico (iii) an OpenSkies service from Paris Orly to Newark or New York JFK. The promotion does not apply to travel on flights operated by any other BA franchisees, codeshare partners or oneworld Alliance members.

only for UK residents?

I'm guessing BA aren't like Hilton and won't apply this to booking within that period that were booked outside of the booking window?

dsf

It doesn't look dodgy to me, I thought it was remarkably straightforward! All BA services, additional transatlantic services.

I'm guessing this won't count for travel during the promo period that was booked before the promo period. Bummer as I have 6 North America flights during the promo period.

Wow, I think we can surmise IAG are not happy with their numbers for H2 2016. Huge number of Avios and from looking at the T&Cs the least restrictive promotion terms for a long time (e.g. includes almost all TATL ex-EU bookings). Probably enough to get me back into BA TATL premium cabins for a few months.

Worry would be another devaluation is probably not far away with all the Groupon sales etc. recently and now this...

Also, thanks OP!

Not eligible again, and if I were they'd find a way to weasel their way out of it (like they did last time I registered). This will make no difference to my future spending...which incidentally is unlikely to be with BA anyway!

Hey ho - so:

1) glad this was posted here, as no trace of it appeared in my inbox or indeed on the BAEC "My Offers" page when I was signed in.

2) have just cancelled and rebooked those flights booked yesterday!!!

3) it seems we're back to the good old days of the 90's when the single BA marketing solution to any soft forward bookings was "let's World Offer it" for leisure and "double air miles" for business. I remember saying then that someone must have started thinking out of the box when one time they offered TRIPLE air miles instead. I am guessing that person has been brought out of retirement, or possible brought back from being station manager in Vladivostok or somewhere similar ;-)

Same here - registered but not eligible

stevie

Me too. Ah well onto CX/AA as planned anyway.

Must be UK members only, or perhaps US as well, but for the life of me I can't find a definition of "participating countries" used to define Eligible Participants. EU account denied like that of a couple of posts above this...

Shoddy legal and poor commercial/marketing (BA anywhere, as well as the JV partners trans-atlantic only?)
