You could close your account and then re-open a new one.

The membership end date will be set once the first flight is credited. BAEC does not alter dates on request.

I also don't understand the need to align dates for couples, a question which gets asked with some frequency. If you always travel together it would be more beneficial to have your dates offset rather than aligned, as then if your travel crosses one end date it would not for the other.
