What's not clear yet is whether the hotel booked through BAH (let's say it was hotel only, rather than a flight & hotel package), is also divided up. It surely wouldn't be too difficult to just book a hotel in one name and avoid that potentially happening.

But the wider point is that BA is clearly targeting extra revenue through BAH so are effectively now competing with the Hotel Loyalty programmes. As a customer we need to decide whether a shiny card/status from a hotel chain or one from BA holds more value.
