I keep seeing fleeting glimpses of this status. Occasionally mentioned on a lounge access plaque, in a Terms & Conditions document, once I acutally saw one of these rare and mythical beings with Premier luggage tags.

So my question is, what is Premier status? What does it get you that Gold does not? And how do you get it? Noone at BA will give me a straight answer other than its 'by invitation only'. What that means to me is it is unpublished - but there must be a policy somewhere!

Is anyone out there a Premier? Can one of you BA insiders give me the skinny? Now I'm Gold I'm busy accruing miles and status on other OW airlines but maybe if I had a new target (similar to the MM targets on AA etc) I would be even more loyal to BA...
