1)get instant status on BA, it might be an incentive to do it there. ...and since I have read that many people here got that kind of deal, I am thinking why not try it...
2)they will surely not turn away my business just because they have comped me a few years earlier and I might not have flown as much as they expected.

1) BA will not comp, only in extremely rare circumstances such as being able to prove that you can and will spend some serious money on premium class travel.As in controlling a large corporate travel budget.Please post a "comp request" thread on the BA board and see what happens.
2)This is exactly what they will do. They may not turn your business away per se, but they will not comp you again if you didnt justify it the first time. Granted, the airlines are all struggling now but even then they can only make so many concessions to attract business. If repetitive comping was that easy/widespread why would anybody here ever bother actually putting in the time/effort/money it takes to reach status.
Otherwise, yes , all is good
