more miles/£ plus bonus miles at HighLife shop
Not seen this anywhere else, including in search results for 'highlife'... new mileage earning at HighLife Shop! plus a bonus for shopping before the end of April. Link is:
We've changed the way you earn BA Miles when you shop onboard in our Highlife Shop! Now you'll earn 2 BA Miles for every £1 you spend instead of £5. So even buying a box of chocolates will boost your BA Miles balance.
More good news - to celebrate the opening of Terminal 5, you'll earn bonus miles when you spend over £51 at Highlife Shop! between 1 March and 30 April 08.
During this period you can significantly add to your BA Miles total:
Spend between £51 and £100 and earn 1,000 bonus miles
Spend between £101 & £150 and earn 1,500 bonus miles
Spend over £151 and earn 3,000 bonus miles

I was e-mailed this offer. If you actually want to buy anything from the HighLife shop it seems pretty good. Presumably if you spend £50 on your BA Prem Plus Amex card you get 150 miles for the credit card spend (double miles for BA purchases) PLUS 100 miles for the standard HighLife shop rate PLUS the 1,000 mile bonus. Grand total: 1,250 miles for a £50 spend. Same ratio if you spend £150, but perversely you get a worse deal if you spend £100 (you'd be better splitting it into two £50 transactions if possible).
I'm flying BA transatlantic next week but sadly there doesn't seem to be much worth buying. The duty free limits on alcohol and tobacco don't get you very far (unless premium whisky is your thing) and the rest of the stuff doesn't appeal to me, so I might just have to let this one go.

For those with the energy / lack of scruples, you could always buy and then return for a guaranteed refund. Unlikely BA would take away the miles, but hardly playing the game !
I spent $230.00 in the HL shop last month onboard. I have rec'd 230 miles in my EC account, but I thought you get double the miles for an onboard purchase. Can somebody advise on this as I am presently engaged in a battle to get my F. class miles from this trip from the tossers at BA EC NA. Is there a UK contact for this stuff? I am weary of giving these oiks in Florida what for.

That's roughly right, given the exchange rate, isn't it?
Hurrumph. All I have coming up between those dates is an AMS which doesn't have duty free on board, and an LPA operated by GB which doesn't give you miles for duty free.
