Redemption sale?
Is there currently an ex-US redemption sale going on? I just tried a dummy J booking for 2 to LHR with only 114k miles and ba.com told me I was 35k+ short to make the booking. It should have said that I was 85k+ short (100k each ticket).

Hmm... perhaps it's the new option to do miles plus cash for J/F that is causing that message? Meaning, perhaps now the lowest miles plus cash option for J is 75k (per person) plus some amount of cash.
Not sure, but that is my first thought. I have not heard about a reward sale.
*Update: I just did a dummy booking and it did offer me 3 choices of miles plus money, the lowest miles offer being 75k per person. Next was 90k, followed by the standard 100k offer. So unfortunately, no miles sale!

Oh, I see what you mean....I can only book with 75k each plus cash, and would need 150k as a minimum amount of miles.
