Is there any way to trigger the £10 spend remotely? If so, what would be the cheapest way to do so? Would it be, for example, booking a day's car parking which doesn't get used, or a one-way HEX ticket?

A slightly cheaper thing to do would be to paypal £10 to an FT'er who treats himself to '3 for £10' Toblerones and posts you the receipt, so you can do a postal or email retroclaim!

I think option 2 sounds much more reliable 
I'm waiting to see if my HEX one posts or not. May make use of an £10 Amex voucher on the 3 for £10 Toblerones

Just to say this did work. Bought HEX ticket online (using an airline discount code mentioned on FT) for about £15, didn't use the ticket, and the BAA base miles and 1,000 bonus miles posted within about 48 hours of the scheduled date of travel. ^

I don't see why the focus on Heathrow, they're not going to create a separately named loyalty scheme for each of their airports and it might mean a reduction in card usage at the other airports as people won't think they're part of the scheme.
