if it does not involve you missing a tier renewal/promotion, it is hard to imagine what that would be. Plus, I suspect there are clauses that give BA considerable discretion/leeway.
Yes, it is BA’s game so they can interpret the rules in their favour at any time.

That was the old game with the old rules. About the only thing you could complain about is that they did not adhere to the six months notice. I expect that if you were vociferous (and valuable enough) they
might bung you some Avios, but highly unlikely to change the rules just for you.
