I can't get into MMB on either the website, it just hangs. (and the word "interstitial" appears page tab) This is on top of not being able to see all my bookings from the exec club homepage.
Anyone else have these woes?

i suspect, at least in the early days, the ICO will consider how significant the breach is before deciding how hard to come down on the offending company - is it that your preference for a window seat isn't recorded correctly (soft) or is it that they have the wrong date of birth and won't correct it (hard) !

Anyone else seen a problem with reward flight seat selection?
Last couple of reward bookings, I go into MMB to select seats and it shows me the seats I have apparently been allocated, but the confirm button is greyed out. I have to change both seats to somewhere else, confirm them, then go back and change them back to where they were.

This rubbish wouldn't have been allowed to go live, after testing, in my day (not that I worked for BA's IT, although they did offer me a job). Surely they have basic test scripts that cover these functions? If so, they should be spotting these errors and correcting them before implementing. If not, someone deserves to be fired.

Absolutely. It beggars belief that (a) these bugs went live, (b) they've not been fixed & (c) staff have obviously been told to fob off customer's complaints with bs. It indicates problems going to the very top of the organisation. Someone near the top of the chain should be fired. On a totally separate subject Cruz made some public comments in the wake of the system outage last year that indicated he was completely clueless re modern IT systems.

We are no longer receiving the membership cards following Tier changes. We suspect our Personal Details pages have been corrupted. However, there is no method we can find that allows us to view these pages. The system states the pages are not available. Awaiting BA response.

Today I have received a few emails to remind me of upcoming flights. It’s the standard template but some information is missing in the body and it’s for flights that span from May to September.

OMG! I don't know how to show my prior posts in quotes or Michael Tate's quotes. I was just on the phone with ba "customer service" for the 3rd time in two weeks. We leave tomorrow, less then 24 hours from now and I could not access the reservation despite receiving an email from ba online telling me I could check in. I should mention these are award tickets with aa miles. I had the ba pnr # and had been able to select seats many months ago when I booked the tickets. I got the same "BS" michael was quoting. I asked to speak to a supervisor. After a long wait one came on line. It was clearly an Indian call center. Both the rep and the supervisor were very hard to understand. Bottom line I got the same answer we will fix it. Then, within about 15 minutes, I get an email from aa that I can check in online. 'worked like a charm and printed boarding p-asses.
It amazes me that ba service can be worse than aas.
Go figure.
YMMV
