I booked some flights under the Travel Shop offer (but not combined with the sale discount) and as there flights are upcoming, am interested to hear whether anyone got double miles or not as they were supposed to post within 48 hours of the flight being taken or something like that.
Thanks
I remember making some enquiries when the offer was on (at the BA Travel Shop in Piccadilly no less, who were handing out leaflets detailing the offer). Apparently the deal was either:
1. Get the special fare reduction; or
2. Get double miles but pay the normal fare (which at the time was reduced due to World Offers in many cases anyway).
It seems that you cannot have both. I took the discount (as, I suspect, did most people!).
