Original booking BWI-LHR and LHR-IAD in WT+ (T both ways) + car. BWI-LHR was cancelled so rerouted.to DCA-BOS+BOS-LHR and LHR-IAD.(Y+T & T) + car.
Approximate air miles (calculated rather than 'BA') would have been 3620 & 3670, but rebooked would be 398+3250 & 3760.
Account shows avios as 0, 4890, 5516 and TPs as 20, 90, 90 for each of the flights respectively.
i) I understand that BAH uses the old mile-to-avios calculation, so 100%+Gold bonus (+100%), so avios awarded odd (working out at about 1.5x rather than 2x)
ii) no avios for the rebooked DCA-BOS segment (BA ticketed, AA metal)
iii) I suspect that if/when the 2x TP bonus is credited it will be just the (90+90)*2, rather than (20+90+90)*2... (?).
i) Unfortunately the Gold bonus was slashed to 50% for distance-based earnings as part of last October's changes. So the amounts earned for the long haul flights sound correct and match up with the results from the Avios calculator.
ii) This is wrong - chase it up through the missing Avios claim portal if no TPs after 7 days. Was your BAEC no. on your DCA-BOS boarding pass?
iii) Unfortunately probably so. You could retro-claim for the additional bonus TPs once the DCA-BOS TPs post though.
