I sign up for every promo, even if I know we will never make it.... because occasionally someone unknown uses my BE account number and their travel matches a promo. :)

Haha. That's cool. I used to get unknown travelers, but that stopped when they changed their site a few years ago. Does it still happen? Or have my beneficiaries found out they were crediting my account?

Hi All, I have four tickets booked in business class to Europe this Friday on British Airways. I booked these tickets directly with BA (125 stock) and forgot to include my BE number at the time of booking (my fault, I know). Is there a way I can add the number now, perhaps by calling BA? The T&C say "The company's Business Extra account number must be in the reservation to earn the bonus points. Tickets submitted for retro-credit processing do not qualify for promotional bonus points." I've got 6400 points on the line and would love not to lose the points...
Thanks in advance! |

Thanks in advance! How to add your Business extra number to a British Airways reservation: 1) Go to www.britishairways.com 2) Select 'Manage My Booking' tab 3) Follow the instructions to pull up your reservation 4) Select the link towards bottom listed under 'Quick Links' 'Add On Business or Business Extra number' 5) Add your Business Extra number and check the box to give your consent. |

But now I have another issue -- I can go into MMB on ba.com, I see the link under quick links, but when I enter my number it says "We do not appear to hold any future bookings for you. To extend your search please enter details below." Any idea what that means? The bottom of that page says "Return to Manage My Booking," and if I click, I am returned to my trip this week. So I'm not sure why it says there are no future bookings? |

Does anyone know if there is a cutoff time before a flight which someone can apply a bxp1 certificate? Can one be applied at t-2 after online check in?

Oops - sorry, was reading quickly and didn't see it in the wiki.

Strange -- I did it in an incognito window and it worked. Thanks!

In cases where a flight has to be retroclaimed do they flights normally get posted with the next months flights or perhaps earlier?

If all 4 are on the same reservation it should not be a problem! You should also get a confirmation email from BA that changes were made!
Summary of changes CLPUpdateCLPUpdateCLPUpdateCLPUpdate The changes were requested by passenger [crimson12] Is there someone I can call to confirm perhaps? And/or, is there a risk to doing it a second time? I only have 6500 points in my BE account overall so being able to double that in one trip would be pretty nice... I don't want to screw it up! Thanks again. |

(Previously, when I had changed meals, added passenger info, etc., those changes were all listed in the confirmation email, but this one for some reason isn't.)

I was rebooked on a new flight due to miss connection, but I was rebooked in A instead of I (original) and I got f/c seat on JFK-LAX.
This is the first time I use BE upgrade cert, and I thought I had to give it to the gate agent, but nobody asked and I still have it. Does that mean I got lucky not to use the cert or what??? I'm confused... |

I got the same email but only one CLPUpdate thing :) meeting services told me they cannot check your ba reservation to confirm that the number is in there so I suppose only ba can...
