YQ on BE Partner Award?
Hi!
I've read the whole thread, and I don't see answer to this, so...... Is YQ charged on a British Airways BE award? My suspicion is that they do, but I'd like confirmation if someone has solid info. The terms and conditions of the award only says" All taxes and fees, assessed at the time of ticketing are the responsibility of the passenger. "
Thanks!

I tried to do a search and didn't see this question asked. Does anyone know if I can use the upgrade certificates on a domestic flight booked with Citi Thank You points? My fare class is W so my fare class looks to be okay. I'm just unsure because I used Citi Thank You points to pay for part of my flight. Thanks.

I just called Business Extra to try and redeem two BXP1 certificates for two passengers (including myself) flying SFO-JFK in February. The agent said there was availability and booked us into First. On my AA account, the flight shows us as being in First, and I am able to select seats in that cabin.
Two questions:
1. Does this seem correct? I would have expected to be booked into Business on a three-class plane. Is there any risk here?
2. Do I need to fill out all the information on the front of the certificate before arriving at the gate, or will the gate agent do that? (And if there's a risk the upgrade won't clear, should I risk filling out the certificate in ink?)

As for the certificate, I used to fill out the information. One time I didn't end up using a certificate that I had filled out. So I crossed off the ticket information, and when I used it next time, I wrote in the new information, all in ink, and nobody said a word about it, so it was fine. I don't think anyone cares too much.

Merging Accounts
I have one account for my law practice as a sole practitioner and another for a partnership. Do you think they will merge them?

This is a pretty common occurrence i believe. Loading the previous month's activity seems to take a few days for it to add the flights as well as the correct points.
I would give it until maybe Monday or Tuesday and if things look off then call. I would guess though by then your points balance should be correct, barring any flights that didn't post.

Europe promotion finally posted!
For those still waiting for the Europe promotion over summer, mine finally all posted! Here is how I got there.
1. I had three eligible round trips, only one was automatically posted (qualified for 400 points), I waited until the time I can request flight credit to submit the two missing ones.
2. At the meantime, there was one 1600 points posted (weird because the only flight I had on record is only eligible for 400)
3. I waited until the two missing trips were posted to contact CS via email summarizing the missing points (2000 total)
3. CS informed me that they are processing another batch of BA promotion and asked me to be patient.
4. Waited another statement without any points. Contacted CS again, she agreed to post the missing points manually.
5. The missing points showed up in this statement (yay!)

I have no idea what points / credits are missing at this point. My account summary is a mess.
I need to hire a BE account auditor to help me sort it all out. Sheesh.

What fare bucket do partner awards come out of? Specifically, I'm considering redeeming for the BP03 award and want to know how impossible it will be to find availability on BA.
Thank you
Thank you

BXP1 Upgrade priority?
I have a ticket on hold that includes SFO-PHL that I am considering requesting a BXP1 upgrade for. Of course there is no C space (per EF) but I think I read somewhere (can't find it) that BXP1 upgrades are higher priority than comp EXP/500 mile upgrades. Can someone verify this? I'm debating whether it's worth up-faring and waitlisting the BXP1 or just going off the complimentary exp upgrade.
