I thought I'd create a separate thread in the meantime before its merged into the The British Airways app [New version for iPhone & Android, launched 21 May] thread because I've not seen it anywhere else on the forum about new updates next month to BA smartphone products.

Key points:
- New upgrade to iOS and Android app will allow customers to book flights using Avios points - this is assumed reward flights - based on the new digital Executive Club membership card features.
- A new, cleaner, in-app system to upgrade flights in cash (previously: clicking on a MMB upgrade offer only to be taken to a web browser)
- Blue BAEC members will no longer get the plastic blue card. Remains available to Bronze, Silver and Gold members.

NEW digital Executive Club cards for smartphones to see:
- A graphic of how far until the next tier level (or how TP to retain status)
- A reminder of minimum BA flights to take
- Lifetime tier points visible (on top of current overall and household balance, TP collection year end and card expiry dates)
- The card will be available in iOS Passbook or an Android download

James Hillier, BA's global Executive Club manager, said: "We're pleased to be able to offer customers more options with our app, like access to our Executive Club card digitally.

"We know our customers enjoy innovative and intuitive technology that helps them on their journey."
