BA say I don't have a valid ESTA... the US say I do
Just tried to check in for LHR-JFK tomorrow, and BA say they can't check me in due to their security systems saying I don't have a valid ESTA and that I'll have to check in at the airport.

Checked the ESTA website, and it confirms I have a valid ESTA.

So...

1) Am I at risk of not being allowed to travel?
2) Am I likely to be bumped, or lose my reserved seat?
3) What do I need to do here?

Planning on travelling hand luggage only, arriving at LHR with adequate (and only adequate) time to clear security.
