1 p.m. yesterday: I faxed my household account application to British Airways.
1 p.m. today:I call BA and make a reservation to ANC. Not enough miles but but my family account (which will provide the necessary amount) is marked "pending." So they transfer me to Member Services, so I can ask if they can expedite my household account application. They agree, and say they should be able to do it in 24 hours.
5 p.m. today:I check my British Airways account, and my household account is all set up!
Top-notch customer service from British Airways!
