As always, I wonder about the multiplier effect of something like this (see also mile inflation threads). BA isn't going to be in the business of Concording people who buy subscriptions, that isn't viable for them. If EBay reaches an audience that reacts to this that is an order of magnitude greater than FT it could spell real trouble.

I agree. BA may simply up its award level for Concorde trips - and that they will if they feel this is over-exploited. I am sure that there is a limit to the number of free seats on each flight so that if too many people tried to do it the capacity controls would stop BA from losing. Other than that, BA probably does not care if the miles are earned from subscriptions because the miles are paid for anyway. If the award is worth a lot more than the miles it takes to get the award, then the airline may simply up the award redemption amount.
