Not much, as vSFU indicated.

For now, this (plus the recent removal of all fees for Golds except the offline booking fee) are the current/live ones. It is not set in stone yet and is currently on trial, hence (I think) a lack of a public fanfare or full EC revamp/news launch yet to date.
All credit to BA and the EC for gradually introducing genuine enhancements (I understand more are in the pipeline) to the benefits (for Gold especially) over the past year or so ^ This is a great idea and I think will be welcomed by many. I hope it remains after the trial period (same goes for the waived fees which had wiggle-room wording when announced on the 'My News' page IIRC to suggest it may not be forever).

It is meant to convert to a reward bucket, not book in to a revenue bucket.
