The EC merged them for him because they could see no activity on one).
FWIW or not worth to
forextrader, most of my BAEC accounts had activity; some had rather consistent/routine/persistent (longer-term) activity -- at least when not looked at from the perspective of someone flying a lot each year. Did I intend to have several BAEC accounts? No, not really; but I've certainly had my fair share -- and then some -- of the benefits of multiple accounts/multiple geographic zones. Do I intend to press the matter with BAEC and get all accounts put together into one BAEC account? Maybe later, but I've got other issues with BA that I care more about; and I'm pretty confident I'll empty out those secondary accounts before BAEC gets around to some kind of global "search and destroy" multiple accounts mission that requires more of me (or that involuntarily separates me from the miles).
