Is ist possible that the BA shopping system has an software issue only recognizing GOLD as free of charge, but not the status level above gold?
Thank you so much for checking!

I’m fairly sure it’s a software issue, most likely a missed requirement that has the unfortunate impact to make it exclude GGL members.

In my day job I work for the company that runs that site but I’m not directly involved with that product.
