I'm sure on the whole that's true but it stands to reason that if loopholes were noted that could cause an unrealistic business disadvantage to BA/BAEC however small then it would also stand to reason for any employee to plug the loophole where applicable. I'm sure it's already happened in situations like the Tesco/BAEC points free-for-all.

S.
True - & aren't these loopholes the tightest around,compared to the other airlines? I've spent 4 months earnestly collecting as many points as possible,& switching &devoting my entire household shopping to tesco, and re-arranged my finances to an absolute ba mile earning optimum,& flown 3rtn flights with BA s/haul, and have earned for all this the equiv. of 1/8th of a business class ticket to Oz. Wheras an American could just go out and buy £400 of magazines, or bubble gum, to earn a whole ticket 1st class.
