Euro-cheat booking (fares) and address questions

Hi all,

Plotting another hop-skip across the pond in late July and back in late Aug. BAEC account based in Berlin, and I'm flying ex-YYZ. Have made a few dummy bookings to compare prices on ba.com:

A) When I check fares for WT+, with 1/w MFU, via BAEC page, it's 2300+ Euros (3,800 ish CAD)

B) When I check fares for CW (lowest fare, R/T), via the home page (not via BAEC page), it's 2,100 ish CAD (1,300+ Euros)!!

3 questions:

1) Would it be possible to book B) above first, then call up BA later to attach my BAEC number/status after the ticket is issued, before travelling?

2) It's now more than 6 mos since I 'moved' to Berlin: can I 'move' back to my YYZ address w/o losing status?

3) If 2 is possible and advisable, would the fare be less than if I'm still 'in' Berlin?

Any help and insight would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance ^
