Whilst the miles have been refunded, I am still waiting for the cash and both the joker and the companion voucher are no longer valid. They gave me 2500 avios per person to compensate so a total of 12,500

I did ask customer service given the context whether I could be issued a new GGL joker and an extension of the companion voucher.

I got this answer.

Dear TheHak

I am satisfied your complaint has been handled and responded to correctly. The gestures of goodwill we have offered are fair and we will not be adding to them. The issues you have raised have been fully addressed, we now consider the matter closed and we will not respond to any further correspondence regarding these issues. If you have any separate issues you would like us to look into for you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I appreciate that this is not the reply you were hoping for, and I am sorry to disappoint you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review your complaint. We do value our Gold Executive Club members very highly, and I hope that we will be able to welcome you on board again in the future.

Best regards



Good bye BA.
What's really interesting to me about this answer is the bit at the end about "hoping to be able to welcome you on board again in the future". The subtext to me is that they really don't value their Gold members and don't care if you walk or not. After all, they've just finished saying it's all their going to do and they don't care what the OP thinks about it.
