YUP! ALL 5 Fam members!!!!!!!
I take it ALLLLL back!
Zee plan worked!
I had set up accounts for fam and everyone had originally planned on doing 4 Jaguar things, I recall. But then I happened to notic in the depths of all things BA that the airline was now letting up to 7 people in household combine their miles. This was discovered by some in mid/late March and became effective around that time. We had only done 4 Jaguar things and so that would yeild 40k...
But with the pending changes at BA, one of which would mean that a flight for USA-Europe or vs. would require 50k, and not just 40 anymore, so we needed 10,000 more points. Where to get em, we thought? Did they successfully rope us all in to now need and have to work for 10k more points? Yes they did--BUT I was able to get my other brother to do the Jag test drive just at the last minute and send his thing in on time (the send-in date was a little while after the last date you could get the cert signed--Mid Mar and Mar 31, I recall) and he now stood to become our much needed 5th wheel!
And today all five of our family's accounts got the 10k!
All legal, all test drove the cahhh, and all got the miles and only a few weeks late!
I had thought JUNE, then doubted it when I got duped on that funny fake web site gag, and now, we have seen justice!
We will now combine the miles to get 50k.
Am trying to figure out how to call BA and also how to do this combine thing, and how long this takes.
My question, when you look at your BA statement (see below):
What's the dif between Mileage and Exec Club pts? Is Exec club the name of the BA program or are those just the elite status points I never expected to get here?
Mr *ME* welcome to your Blue membership online.
My Mileage Balance 10,000
Executive Club Points 0
Anyway, my use of these 50k combined BA miles is going to be as follows if I can do it:
We have two dutch realtives who want to come over here in late july and though everyone and his grandmother is going to try to redeem BA miles now, their flights would be going THE OTHER WAY:
AMS-LHR-BOS and back.
They MAY get lucky and be able to have me give them one award and then they pay for the other. I can legally give my BA award to a relative and the goal here was to do the promo to get a free Europe trip and save money.
It seems to be working so far.
MM I am a very happy MMan today!
