Given that they've shifted the goal post, there's no point hanging around with BA and there are cheaper flights. Of course I expect them to say no, but I'd still be pleasantly surprised if they issued me a refund and I send that money in the direction of Qatar and KLM. Of the 6 trips I have booked, there's only 1 that I'd say is strictly a great deal that I'd want to fly regardless of BAEC considerations. It's been a real wake up call not to get any sense of attachment to any corporation.
I think you might be better sending a query pointing out that you booked flights based on information that they would come with certain benefits and can they confirm if the new scheme will still provide the benefits you expected.
