Thanks Globaliser, yes it will be a cash booking, will put in BAEC number, and as you say will get BA miles and TP, i should not have assumed, but is this because QF is still part of Oneworld, i thought that we would not be able to gain miles and TP's travelling on a non partner airline, information given has certainly made me think of staying with QF, but putting in our BAEC numbers rather than our QFFF numbers and this will keep the silver card afloot^
