Yes - so now it makes no sense to collect BA points, especially in light of their new mileage requiremnts (Phew---300% more to fly for free)</font>
1) The 300% is BS, that's only on SOME routes. Average is 15% more.

2) Your reasoning that now you've got away with it you won't earn anything to replenish the account is IMHO immoral and probably considered fraud, also it will spoil the flexibility of the program for those of us that ARE honest.

3) How did you manage to get the negative balance? Are you a long time Gold card holder?
