"Thank you Mr G-BOAC. No really, thank you" (OB/EC Double/Upgrade Offers)
Quote:
Dear Mr G-BOAC,
We believe it's important to recognise ongoing loyalty. That's why we'd like to give you the opportunity to enjoy an upgrade and earn bonus BA Miles when you book and fly with us over the coming months.
It's our way of saying thanks. Twice.
---
Book and complete a full fare return flight before 31 March 2009 and receive a one-way upgrade on your choice of either the outbound or return journey.
Book an eligible Club World return and be upgraded to First, or be upgraded to Club Europe when you book an eligible return in Euro Traveller.
There's no limit on the amount of upgrades you can have, as long as you're booking eligible flights. And of course, you'll also earn more Tier Points equivalent to your cabin upgrade.
This offer is subject to availability so contact your travel agent or call us now on 0800 x to secure your upgrade.
To qualify for your bonus BA Miles you'll need to register first.
Then simply book and complete two or more long-haul return flights before 31 March 2009
(or three or more short-haul return flights).
Of course the more you travel, the more BA Miles you'll collect. Four return flights in Club World could earn you up to 100,000 bonus BA Miles, giving you a long-haul flight to Australia.*
Is there a friend or colleague we should be thanking as well? Share this opportunity with them now.
I hope you can take advantage of these special Executive Club offers and in doing so, accept our thanks.
Warm regards,
James Hillier
Executive Club Manager

They can upgrade from Club World to First, or from Euro Traveller to Club Europe.
Both classes offer enhanced levels of privacy and comfort so travellers can work or relax
at our airport lounges and on-board.

And because your colleagues can still earn BA Miles when they fly, our double thank-you means double the benefits for you both.
Warm regards,

I was about to post same and point out that, despite receiving the personalised email, I was told I am ineligible for teh BA Miles offer. Eh? Nothing in the T&Cs that would explain that. G-BOAC, did you try registering?
Yes - registered no problems for the EC one. The OB one for some reason (with all their promos) you put in your OB number and company name (why? I don't have to put my name in for EC promos) and then it tells you 'thanks, one of the OB team will process that within 24 hours'. Why can't it be instant/automated like the EC ones? Very odd.
Would you believe it - I booked two return long haul flights about three minutes before that offer came in asking you to register to be eligible for bonus miles when you book and complete two long haul flights by 31st March.

This is not just any promotion, this is an old promotion which has been jazzed up with some marketing slogans and will not benefit half of our customers.
This is not just marketing spin, it is marketing spin dreamed up by our marketing agents who are afraid that they will lose their jobs in the current economic climate if they don't pull their socks up when creating our slogans.

G-BOAC, did you try registering?
