I assume when I made a redemption via BA EC on BA metal, BA EC has to make a transaction to BA to 'pay' for my flight.

Yes they are. And I am particular interested how BA would be charged if you redeem a ticket on, let us say CX or AA.

I am doing a redemption to avoid paying a fare. I couldn't really care less how BA wants to account for it between itself and AGL.
So why do you come back to join the conversation. You could just ignored the post. The reality is that I think occasionally people get curious, like me did. The true spirit about Frequent Flyer is to learn things you did not know about travel. For me, I have no idea how much BA would charge for a redemption ticket, and now, I accidently learnt the real figure and I am more than happy to share this info with people here. Someone here could find the 'rubbish knowledge' like this entertaining and helpful. Of course you can have your own attitude, but I truly wish that you could keep it to yourself.
