seat selection on BA for pc members
has anyone had luck with advance seat selection with their qr pc gold status - don't want to me stuck in one of the 2 middle club world seats - the ba website refers only to ba status - otherwise you pay $75/segment for advanced seat selection

All oneworld emeralds and sapphires should be eligible for free advance seat selection on BA. If it does not seem to work online then try calling BA to put your QR number in the booking and making the selection over the phone.
For what it's worth I don't think that I have ever more than once or twice seen a BA flight where window or aisle seats were not available when online check-in opens. However I have seen many flights where window-aisle pairs were not available.

As you are Privilege Club Silver which is the equivalent of oneworld Ruby - rather than Gold (oneworld Sapphire) as you stated in your first post - you are not entitled to free seat selection on BA until 7 days before departure.

I'm QR Gold (oneworld Sapphire) and wasn't able to select my seat on BA until check-in. Despite my FF no being in the booking the whole time. Guess the BA website isn't yet geared up for QR pax
