I'm also having difficulty registering for one of these offers (the fly two or more return flights one) -- it says "page not recognised".
However, most of these offers require booking into full-fare etc. If that is the case, I would never qualify anyway since I never purchase full-fare tickets. Does anyone know what the T+C of this offer (not the one-way UG) offer is?

Well I've recieved the same e-mail from Mr Hillier at BAEC and when I click on the link to register, I get the
Your registration has been unsuccessful, unfortunately you are not eligible for this offer.
message - so why send the chuffing e-mail in the first place!!!
Its all academic really as I'm currently on a career break with my new BAEC year starting this morning with 0 TPs and only a 241 to CPT booked for November.

I got this as well. It looks remarkably similar to last year's offer, although it certainly felt like the max CE benefit was higher. I might just be suffering from point-inflation though.

I also hardly ever book full fare. But it's useful to have pre-registered in case of emergency travel.
Is it right to think that most big corp agreements would have fare bases that aren't eligible for the upgrade deal?
Friend of mine commuting weekly to the States. He was sort of hoping that when he rolled up for the 287 a couple of hours ago he might find himself in F. Not so much.
I assume a corp agreement wouldn't show as J2BA. But as something else?

I remember one of my company-discounted fare codes was indeed quite different from the 'normal' full-fare ones. That made sense as the fare conditions were also quite different...

I'm interested in this too - our corporate nett fares tend to be in classes like J2BAUQ so I'm not sure whether they qualify.
Why is the one-way upgrade only available through travel agents or by phone, but not BA.com? Do they then fleece the customer for a telephone booking fee?
Can somebody explain for my benefit the significance of the different BA booking classes starting with the letters J2BA...
For example:
J2BA
J2BAUQ
J2BAIE
I'm assuming that some (all?) of these are classed as full-fare Club World? What is the significance of the additional letters in the booking class code?

UQ = closed user group fare, i.e., it is not a "published fare". I don't know what IE is, but likely some corporate/agency type code - IT is the common one for tour packages (Inclusive Tour)...though I doubt many of those fares are booked in to J class.
Curiouser and curiouser. First time I tried registering from this (sans e-mail, since BA don't seem to want to e-mail me anymore ), I got the "registration has been unsucessful" message.
Log onto ba.com today, and there's now a little box on the left of the screen saying that BA have two ways of thanking me for my business.... Clicking on that leads to the registration page, et voila I'm successfully registered
