I can turn my regular EC account into an ECCCA account as our company has signed an ECCCA agreement.

Does anyone know anything about ECCCA - is it a good thing to sign up to or not.

By the looks of things the benefits are reasonably limited - basically we can attain Silver with only 500 pts (instead of 700) and requalify at 400 (instead of 500). I'm already a happy silver and should requalify. I am unlikely to make Gold unless BA starts giving out points for regular (personal) longhaul travel on cheap fares!!

Any other hidden benefits or any reasons why it's a bad thing (Status is effectively downgraded - the corporation gets the benefits for e.g.)
