I am certain that that is not the sort of thing of which to be proud or to encourage others to pursue. The poor people at T4 were correct - orders made through travelex.co.uk are ineligible for BA miles.

You deserved far more than dagger stares from those behind you and I am sure would have received it too if they knew that you were in the wrong and were merely acting out of pure greed.
