I totally forgot that one of the discount codes I was using was tied to the Chase BA card. But the Amex card worked, and our reservations are now ticketed. (Not only do I feel a little guilty about getting the discount without using the Chase BA card, I also would have preferred 5x Avios to 3x Amex MR points.)
I'm shocked they don't have more accurate account coding like United does for the baggage. (Have
and purchase with the card to get the free bags.) I didn't notice/realize that the BA card is 5x, that's a great deal with this discount. I ended up cancelling and using some other miles I was trying to get rid of for an alternative flight, but will definitely consider getting the card next time.
