3 - I want to get better treatment in case of irregular operations (AA Plat)
Obviously, if I can only do one of the above, I will do #1.
Is BA's system capable of handling multiple frequent flyer numbers without getting confused (don't want my miles to go into AA or BA)?
I have an unexpired EC account but never used it. Is there a way to give my EC number and request no miles into it just to keep it active?
Is there value in doing #3?
Thanks.
Right I will start this off.
If your exec card is still valid, you can check in at -24 using OLCI. OLCI does allow you the option to assign the flight to another FQTV scheme. Whether HP sauce have an agreement with BA, I don't know. Someone else will be able to do that bit.
You can't have multiple FQTV cards against your pnr, if you use your HP sauce card, flight goes pear-shaped. BA will judge you as a HP card holder, when they are looking to do off-loads/upgrades etc. You may be able to wave the plat card around, but at that point it might be too late
