Question about GGL.
Hi All,
It is now not long until I should see my BAEC account upgraded from Gold to GGL.
I was just wondering, will I see my account having been upgraded when I log in at BA.com?
I remember the colour change and the fact that it said 'Gold' rather than 'Silver' when my account was upgradede from silver to gold some years back.
(Sadly, I don't think I'll make the CCR card this year, but perhaps in my next BAEC year.)

You won't see anything different.
But at 2500 after you have got your GUFT, it will say "you need xxx TPs to earn/retain GGL".
Then at 3000 it will say "you need xxx TPs to get another GUFT".
So, you only know, from the TP countdown thingey (at least that it what is shows for retaining GGL, presumably the same for earning it).

It's automatic if you've qualified using the 3K for 2 years/5K one year rules.
As Smirnoff says, only you will know using the countdown thingie. You should get a letter welcoming you along with a super-fabulous card.

Cardboard? 
It's a bit of thick paper, like what the T5 car park spews out at you at the barrier.
And you are supposed to keep it nice for years to come, as a special reminder of what a valued customer you are.
No new bits of cardboard/thick paper at renewal, no bag tags, no calendars, nothing.
Just a phone number to plug into your phone.
