Am re-surfacing this thread in the hopes that BA may eventually do something to improve this website. Just spent a good hour trying to find info on the Executive Dining Program. I saw it mentioned on the Executive Club page... but I couldnt find any specifics or clickables for more info. So is this something like idine???

It IS idine for Executive Club members.
It's very obvious once you find it, as the website is:
http://ecdining.idine.com
I don't remember how I found that on BA's website a couple weeks ago. I certainly can't find it now, but I can find a toll-free number. Here's how, starting at the ba.com main page:
- Login. (Not all Executive Club info is shown when you're not logged in.) As mentioned elsewhere, you have to wait for the main page to FINISH loading (or do Stop in your browser) for it to not clear the number you're typing in.
- That gives you a page with your account summary. On the left is a menu, from that click on Benefits.
- On the main Benefits screen, on the menu on the right, click on Who Are Your Partners. Here is where it matters that you logged in. If you're not logged in, this link goes to a non-member page which provides much less info.
- From the main Partners screen, on the menu on the right, click on Service Partners.
- Now you're at a confusing screen, but you're almost there. The screen is mostly about Travelex (which I've never heard of here in the US), and there's an unexplained dropdown near the bottom of the screen that defaults to "BA Inflight Retail". On this dropdown select "Executive Club Dining".
- That takes you to a summary page for EC Dining, with a link to a detail page. Unfortunately that link doesn't show any detail at all, but instead takes you to a general EC earning info page.
So I can't figure out where on the BA site I found the URL for EC Dining that I posted above. However, the summary page I just mentioned does at least give you a toll-free number for EC Dining, where I presume they could tell you the URL.
Yikes! I belive I just proved the point you were making, even if I did find SOMETHING SOMEHOW...
(Oh, one more stupid thing I noticed. The dropdown types are inconsistent from one page to the next. On the Service Partners screen that's mostly about Travelex, the dropdown is the type that goes to a new page as soon as you select an item in it. But on the EC Dining summary page, there's a different of dropdown, where it does nothing yet when you select a different item from the dropdown, you have to click a little arrow button to the right of it to actually go to a different page!)
