Looks like most of the images have gone on the first page. It would appear that "Photobucket" are no longer willing to host these without being paid. Shame.

Regarding baggage allowance for BA silver card holders traveling on BA codeshare flight on AA metal. Do SCH get 2x32kg in Y?
A bit confusing as AA offer only 2x23kg for Saphire. And my booking which was done on ba.com with all BA flight numbers (ORD-LHR with AA connecting to LHR-RUH with BA) the BA website say I'm only entitled to 2x23kg.

If every flight in your journey has a BA code (e.g. BA1234) you will get British Airways’ checked baggage allowance, even if some or all of the flights are operated by other airlines (so-called 'codeshare' flights).

If your journey includes a flight with an airline other than British Airways, your checked baggage allowance may be different:

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it.
I am currently BAEC Blue (anniversary date in August), needing another 80 TP's for Bronze.
In a couple of weeks time I'm flying ADL-DOH-BEY on QR in J/F. I was planning to credit all the TP's (220) for this trip to BAEC, but this would be far more than I need for Bronze.
I was wondering if it is possible to split the crediting of TP's from the one ticket between different airlines FF programs, eg ADL-DOH to BAEC and DOH-BEY to QRPC.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Much easier to retro claim after travel than to try to mess around, frequent flyer numbers are very sticky in bookings.

Re Silver Benefits. Do they have access to Aer Lingus lounges in LHR T2 & Dub when traveling with EI? I read on another forum that they do but can't find any info on that on BA website.

When booked on a codeshare, yes, I've used it. I've never booked on an EI prime code.
The T2 lounge is OK. Marginally better than the Galleries IMO as it's a bit smaller and often much less busy.

This appears to be the place for BAEC queries
My membership year ended on 8 July and I am a lowly blue member, in august I have the following flights all booked Club World or Business :-
LHR - JFK BA ticket BA metal Tier points 140
ATL - MIA AA ticket AA metal Tier points ?
MIA - PUJ AA ticket AA metal Tier points ?
PUJ - LGW BA ticket BA metal Tier points 140
Will I accrue the required 20 points from the AA flights to take me in to Bronze or do I have to wait till I take another BA flight later in the year ?
Many thanks

Quick question. Flew two Aer Lingus regional flights EDI-DUB-EDI about a month ago. BA membership number was in the booking, should I have received a few Avios? And if so where would I claim the missing Avios? EI or BA?
Thanks
Thanks

How to find special reservations numbers when achieving status?
I first became Bronze and now to Silver. It appears there are different reservations numbers for these levels that presumably have a shorter queue, but I can't figure out how to find them.
First attempt: The "print your membership card" option: Nope, it's supposed to be on the back but this option doesn't print the back.
Second attempt: The website says that if you log in, you'll get the numbers. Nope (at least if looking for the USA number).
Third attempt: Ask the reservations agent who is looking at my file so knows I am silver. Nope -- "I'm a blue res agent sir so I have no further information."
Do these numbers not exist in the USA? If they do, is there a secret initiation required?
