Is anyone else having trouble with it continuously just saying "your session has timed out" on the page after you enter your DC number and password?
I've been trying to transfer some more DC points over to BA, but it's been doing this all wee for me! It worked perfectly when I used it a few months ago.

.Maybe they could add a 'continuous transfer authority'?

So the upshot of this is that any DC member who is resident of Australia can not take advantage of any points transfer or status match with BA?

Given that QF have sent BA packing after getting into bed with EK I'm sure it won't be long before Australian residents are allowed to join BAEC. The question is whether this will happen before DC is wound up or not....

It might be worth running this search or this search to see whether I'm merely imagining this.

ISTR that Nicci (posting either as BA Executive Club or DiamondClubQueries) has suggested the workaround of finding a correspondence address in a different country for a BAEC account, in order to enable the functions to work for you. If there is official support like that, I would have thought that there would be no room for qualms about the propriety of doing this.

Another day, another conversion for me after the credit card miles arrived.
Went through the steps - was done and dusted in two minutes with Diamond Club miles converted into Avios.
Balances reflected within seconds on both accounts.

I never flew with BMI but they gave me silver membership because of the industry I work in. The sign-up bonus of 1500 miles was nicely transferred to Avios. Unfortunately but understandably the silver membership was not taken over by BA.
Fortunately the BMI silver card can be used until next year for a lounge access. Hereafter I probably have to mingle with the plebs (I quote Andrew Mitchell).
