As noted elsewhere, there is an avios.com offer for new ways of earning Avios. This includes BA flights. The offer is for up to 2,000 bonus Avios over the next year by crediting at least 500 Avios from BA flights per quarter. But how?
Our recent LHR-ZRH-LHR looked ideal. Out using BAEC, back using avios.com, or vice versa. (BAEC numbers were already in the PNR.)
The friendly help person at T5 changed our outbound numbers to avios.com numbers including the CJ prefix and they appeared on the BP. However, the flights were credited to BAEC.
OK then, we'll sort it on the return. Unsurprisingly, the SSCI machine at ZRH had no mention of avios.com or CJ. The check in lady had never heard of Avios let alone Airmiles (she was new) but successfully found CJ in her manual and input the numbers which show on the BPs. All well and good, then. Except that the flights have again been credited to our BAEC accounts.
Outcome: we have BAEC Avios and TPs but are down by 1,000 Avios between us as avios.com wasn't credited in the Dec-Feb quarter. (There's no way that our J trip to CPT will credit to avios.com with no TPs.
)
So question for the experts, please. Just how can we get avios.com credit for BA flights? Thanks for your advice.
