I got an immediate email stating my refund was being processed and a similar message is shown on MMB.

I did send a message via Twitter and they just said the processing should take 5-7 days

I don't want to bother calling BA as my flights was not due to fly until late April. However has anyone still got a refund pending after 12 days from making the application for refund?
You may need to chase up again. I think any manual intervention can cause a delay. I had a full cash refund from 6th March that included a GUF2 -that was the manual intervention. The GUF came back into my account instantly.
I received the refund yesterday after a second follow up call last Friday. The GGL rep I dealt with was first class and allocated the refund as priority with a case number. I had some other refunds that all came through yesterday.

Good luck.
