I have an addres in the UK and the US. I have a BA Gold card, earned through a (very) few trips in F or R each year. The rest of my business travel is European (mainly not BA) or Transatlantic on AA (I'm a Plat).

I have around 750K BA miles sitting in my account which I'm unlikely to use for rewards soon. However, I'm far more likely to be able to use them if I can upgrade from Y to C or from C to F using miles. You can't do this in the UK programme, but I understand you can in the US one.

Two questions - (1) has anyone transferred over from UK to US programem and do you have any tales to tell? (2) is there a weblink for the US programme whihc I can access from the UK to look at the benefits of being an US EC Gold member?
