OK so a bullet point summary on the DC side of things is:
- Equivalent status match BD*S to BA Silver, BD*G to BA Gold as of
1/5/12
- BA lounge access for BD*S/*G by showing DC card as of
today
- 1:1 Avios to DC miles conversions either way via transfer tool as of 3/7/12
- earn & spend on *A excl LH group until 31/5/12
- status benefits on all *A until 31/5/12
Overall it gets a big ^ from me - I was getting worried I'd be stuck with them all in an orphan DC miles account. Also means I'll be BA Gold in time for my existing long-haul MFU booking with them at the end of May
