Thanks LonLH, went through this with BA and was informed BMI DC no exists, so retro claim will be useless. At present as previous mentioned discussed this at length with BA and BMI EC and DC duty managers and they keep to the present position and will revert. But with the present position for BA do not expect much hope. With over 1.5m current miles with status with KLM/AF Platinum, LH Senator. I have other airlines I can fly and obtain points and status. BA Gold is not so important, but the thought of being 2 flights away from being Gold, flights booked and paid for and cannot obtain this sucks.
