Ya know - I'm really starting to see this issue as the main one why I consider my 200k in miles to be getting pretty near worthless, have got no doubt there are people running around racking up huge mileage balances & tier points for nada & thus booking up all flights worth redeeming on.

No thankyou BA, I do not wish to travel outbound & inbound Tuesdays to Thursdays only - bloody fix it. Nor do I want to be left with visiting Algeria for the weekend with Don1k as my only option.

They still haven't fixed the redemption error I found from 8 months ago, even though it's blatantly obvious - am considering now if I should advise them of that one, although it's not a popular place to redeem in the 1st place, so would just make things even worse elsewhere.
