BA has a completely different plan in Japan. It is very unattractive. You might want to register in North America but not in Japan.</font>
Looking at the handbook it seems fairly standard. The best way to use the BA scheme, if you have an address outside Japan you can use ,imo, is
If status is important to you, to get status initially have an account registered in europe and get Gold and then move to the US scheme thereon.
Otherwise join the UK scheme which gives 2x for club, 3x for 1st and 4x for Concorde irregardless of status and then move to the US scheme when you want to make a redemption booking
