I checked in and loaded a week ago. Thinking of doing my 'shopping' on the weekend. Is it suggested to maybe do it all again for each account?

Wouldn't surprise me if it was luck of the draw.
I spoke to You First earlier intending to retrospectively add a 2-4-1 to an existing booking and was told that I can't. I know from reading on here that plenty of people have managed it fine.
Does anyone have any tips? When to call? Who to call (You First or the general line (I am lowly blue))? What to say?

Seeing as YouFirst told me that "there are no cot seats in F" the other day, and I have been assured by CC on here that is not the case, my advice would be not to take them too seriously. Great for booking a cabana or spa treatment, but not particularly knowledgable when it comes to anything else.

Hi all
My colleague has asked me to let you know that the mailed companion voucher will no longer be received when the spend threshold is reached (in affect from 1 Dec 2012). However once you have qualified for the voucher an email will be sent to you detailing how to make use of it. For further details please visit ba.com."
I hope this is useful but please let us know if you have any questions
Warm regards
Nicci

Good move! Save the trees!
Paper vouchers are absolutely pointless!

Hi all, a couple of questions I hope you can clarify for me;
1. I redeemed a 241 in November paying £1206 in total. On my Amex statement it shows 3x the spend with BA - why is this? (We are both Bronze and have had no other spend recently with BA).
2. On my statement the booking class shows as B - this was an F redemption, is this correct?
Thanks

1. Is the 3x in pounds or Avios? With the BA PP card, you earn triple avios on spend with BA (= 3 per £).
In the AmEx statement, B is normally Business.

I think we discussed it up-thread here? (getting mixed up between here and the MSE thread!) - it's very easy to do though - instant £10 for setting up the sync and some good offers that can be loaded onto your card from it - e.g Cineworld spend £10 get £10, Dixons Travel spend £50 get £25
Bit of a bonus today wandering into an Argos, wondering how to spend 20 quid usefully, and finding gift cards for a bunch of places...

I don't think those are foursquare offers. They are offers you get via xbox.
