See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/8172626-post10.html and note:-
Premier is an invitation only level. There are only around a handful (low thousands) of Premiers worldwide. You can’t get to it by just flying a lot. They are generally given to people that BA consider are important, and each new Premier has to be approved by the board (BA’s Board of Directors, not the FT Board – would that it were so simple!).

Perks include all those of Gold with priority over Golds, plus access to the Concorde Room on any ticket, and many more perks beside.

-Separate 0800 number for reservations that is answered immediately rather than going through the automated menu thing.
There are some other partner benefits too. Discount codes at certain hotels and such. Someone a few years ago managed to C&P the info but it is likely well hidden...

Are you sure about CCR access? The family member of mine who was a Prem also happened to be given one the CCR cards but I don't believe one conferred benefits to the other.

I think this is correct: I seem to recall on one of the lounge cards that someone scanned and posted here that it did indeed show that Prems can access the CCR at all times. However, the rules may have changed over time.

I think this is the only time a list of benefits has been published.

BA Premier (the status not the FT member) can be best summarised with the often repeated "If you have to ask...."

I know the 2 guys that own the company my Dad works for are Premiers. Now this company mainly does it work out in the Far East & the U.S and while i dont have the exact £ amount they spend each year with BA on CW flights for their staff, i know its well over £1 million & chances are its closer to 2.
So while BA Premier is invitation only and technically cant be earned. Im sure dropping £1 million on Willie Walsh's desk each year so to speak is a good way of getting the BA boards attension and having that little black card winging its way to you.
