Ouch, sorry to hear this Roger.
I had kind of blithely assumed this would be as easy as changing the FF drop-down drop-down in MMB (which obviously requires being logged in on ba.com). Maybe / maybe not it would appear .

Stupidly I have booked two return trips for next two qtrs ... looking to credit o/b to BAEC and inbound to Avios.com.
Lesson 1: In future, better to book such trips as two singles.

I will now switch my FF programme to Avios.com for the o/b; then try to reverse it to BAEC for the inbound (Lesson 2).

FWIW, I would actually take it up on the phone with BAEC, and note your return flights have credited incorrectly ... please amend to FF# 12345678. You may well get shunted to avios.com "help", but your strongpoint would be the fact of your printed BPs. Personally, I'd want ONE person sorting the whole thing. They (BA) might even be interested to know of this wee bug in their IT!!
