Since I wanted to order about £1k's worth of Euros, and I would get 1 BA mile for every pound for any order over £300, I decided to split my order into 3 seperate transactions (each for over £300).

Am I right in thinking that these 3 transactions would count towards getting me the 500 bonus BA miles for 3 or more transactions? I went through the fine print (albeit quickly), but I could not see anywhere where it mentioned that it can't be 3 transactions where I have to pick up the money at the same time. Perhaps I am missing something.
