Anyone worked a way around this?
Will be interesting to see how they solve this. Question is if according to my earlier post the deal ended 23:59 on the 12th and not 23:59 on the 13th as many says. But the wording on the BA website is now clear saying "book before 13 october" that would then mean 23:59 on the 12th? Anyone else who can shed some light onto this?
Also on a side note: Has there been any success in redeeming the amex 2-4-1 over the phone with this? I know it shows up when trying online...
