Thanks for this. I will be doing printouts every year from now on! Regarding boarding passes, unfortunately my company demands that I send them the originals in order to claim any expenses, so the only way I can ever get miles is by specifying an FF number when I book and check in. Since I specified BAEC (of course), I got nothing.
