Thank you very much the links really helped..I also agree that the color of the card should not matter..It was just that my friend has had Gold on B.A. , is vice-president of a fortune 500 company and was wondering about that one invite hae has never gotten..His curiosty not mine...
He is a little sour as he flys Concorde often and says they do all sorts of special things for him Must be the difference in the price tag I guess... My friend is British so that might explain to a few people about the service needing to be top notch..Love the Brits..I just know they like excellent service and will open their mouths about it if they are unhappy.. I lived there for several year in Mayfair and Chelsea so I base on my opinions on having lived there
