Let the speculation begin... To harmonize with AA (and compete with LH) BA introduces SWU certificates for Golds.

I doubt that exempting all current Gold members from the fuel surcharge fees on "rewards" is going to happen in November, but I'll be celebrating if that is what happens in November and it doesn't involve the use of a points surcharge based on the fuel surcharge fee amount BA charges for "rewards".

That's my understanding, £25 to cancel an award booking.

Except that the new MFU by sector just announced by Nicci will mean that non-UK originating pax will have to shell out more to upgrade the whole itinerary as both legs will need to be upgraded independently (incidentally, I take it you mean Euro-genuine rather than Euro-cheat given that the z1-3 change does not affect Euro-cheats as such?)
On the other hand ^ to waiving reward fees for Gold.

You mean the GUF2 I guess but that is something you earn. It would be nice if like at a lot of American airlines and with LH Senator you simply get a couple of certificates per year you can use for last minute upgrades at the airport or even at the time of booking.

After the change, you will have to either pay more (in points) to upgrade the CDG-LHR leg or sit in Y on that leg.

"I read it that Gold members will be exempt from change and canx fees, whereas Blue and Silver members will now have to pay a fee to change/cancel a reward booking" is how I understood it too.
