And where does the BA points come into play.. or is that another name for Esso points?

From my calculation you earn 1 Esso point per dollar spent, but only 1 AE point on $3 spent on gas..

So when you converted the AE points to Esso.. did you get triple the amount of Esso points or more?
good negotiator i guess....i needed the AP miles in my BAEC account since they were useless to me where they were.

1AP=1.14 Esso points; 1.14 Esso points are equal to 0.684 avion points; 0.684 avion points are equal to 1.02BA miles taking advantage of the BA, 1.5 bonus.

purchase of fuel is not part of this deal but when i buy gas, i credit to esso to move to avion to hold to conver to BA at the 1.5 mile bonus.
