I tried a purchase via itunes - bought a giftcard. Did not realize giftcards are not eligible.

I have 2 weeks until expiration ... want to make sure my recent transfer will take care of it ..

Since there was a lot of speculation on this and other threads but no one seemed to be willing to actually confirm things:

Finally got a written email response from BA stating that the recent Amex to BA transfer (with 35% bonus!) DOES reset the expiration clock for another 3 years.

So there you go.
