A Thank You from BA American express
I have just received a thank you letter from BA Amex. Included in the pack were 2 x £10 money off vouchers to use in the airport duty free. Very welcome indeed ^ Also there were two passes to fast track at LHR for 2 pax each. A nice thought but unfortunately not of much use to me. However they are not personalised or linked to my Amex at all. So, who to give them too....
VOUCHERS NOW GONE - NO MORE PMs PLEASE! I'm happy to post the fast track vouchers to any UK address, but dont publish it here. They will go to the first person to PM me. I would be absolutely delighted if that person would also give a fiver to the charity of their choice, but that's up to you.

I got the same package a couple of months ago. I think it's a sweet idea, although I wish they'd stop giving me fasttrack tickets (this is my third bunch). Presumably the majority of their UK customers are EU citizens, so in most cases they're not appropriate gifts.

I'm told it's quite a long way from the economy check-ins to the FT entrance though, not that a bit of exercise would harm working people I should think

Fast track
I think they are for fast track security not fast track immigration so still useful for EU passengers - as long as not premium cabin or status pax...

Edit -Oh I see what you mean! You think BA control amex and have ordered them to give me some vouchers. My dear chap, you are in fact deluded on a number of fronts. Your opinion of my importance to BA is flattering, but I am afraid misplaced. Nor do Amex march to BA's tune. And you seem to to be looking for any old thread to post your drivel to. Perhaps I can direct you to the following thread where I think such inaccurate gripes are more welcome:-

Now coming back on topic....

Just got an envelope from BA Amex, so I said to Mrs P, I know what this is, it's the fast track vouchers I heard about on FT.
So I opened the envelope and it was just a change of terms and a glossy leaflet telling me I would get more with my BA Amex card.
Boo!

I think the Fast-Track vouchers are great - from recollection, they have posted them around twice before. I have never used them personally - but always give them to colleagues, friends or relatives (who have been most appreciative).
There's some post waiting for me at home, according to SWMBO, so fingers crossed the Duty Free shopping vouchers are there too!
