I would retroclaim via Diamond Club, it may then work in your favour due to the extra miles.
Good offer at the moment. Yes, join HHonurs, so easy to get miles auto credited to BAEC, just needs two cards, you don't need to transfer. Also, check ba.com for good flight+hotel deals, 1000 extra avios for ET at the moment.
