Thanks for the reply. But can you clarify if you meant "yes" to my first question (does BA allow Concorde awards w/ BA miles) or my second question (is it only QF that allows this reward)? Sorry for the initial ambiguity in my question.</font>
BA allows you to fly JFK-LHR RT in Concorde for 125,000 BA miles.

Once in the page, you need to scroll down to page 31 and you also need an adobe reader since the document is in pdf.
You may also fly Concorde one way and Economy in the other direction for 95,000 miles or in Club World for 110,000 miles.
Then, on page 38, you will see that QF/BA joint award will allow you to include Concorde when flying BA accross the Atlantics and onward travel worldwide in BA and/or QF First where offered for 175,000 BA miles. Of course, this is BA Executive Club
North America. For all other countries, including the U.K, rules are different and generally, not as generous.
In my opinion, BA's EC in North America is an excellent program
for those frequent flyers in First and Business class. BA awards are quite generous and flexible. For example, you can fly
1) JFK-LHR (Stopover in London [Europe]) on BA First
2) LHR-SYD (Destination[Oceania]) on BA First
3) AKL-HKG (Stopover in Hong Kong [Asia]) on Cathay First
4) HKG-JFK (home) on Cathay First
for only 150,000 BA miles. Last year, this award only cost 140,000 miles and was definitely a steal that BA realized and increased the needed mileage by 10K. This is a by default RTW in First Class on two very good carriers by visiting Europe, Oceania and Asia in one single trip from North America is hard to beat thanks to BA's generous stopover rules.
No wonder BA's EC is my second largest account of choice despite the fact I don't live in the UK.
