My BAEC Profile preferences will never be complete!

Logged on to BAEC today to find that £18.3m has been spent on a cute little graphic that tells me how complete my profile is. Only 92% (shock/horror) but it seems that I can only get the missing 8% if I choose a special meal for evermore.

This is not helping my OCD.
So the question is: Asian vegetarian or lacto-ovo-blah-blah.....

Eurgh. It looks like IAG got the same people who did the Iberia site last last year to work on BA....

Just another silly little graphic that I have to look at every time I log in. As you say, if you don't select a special meal it will never be 100%.

Don't get me wrong...BA have introduced some useful features lately, particularly on the App,...but this isn't one of them!

This has been driving me crazy since I saw it an hour ago, I want to get it to a 100% but I don't want to kill my upgrade chances with a special meal!

it gives me strength be amongst fellow sufferers.

Really should get into the online marketing game, people will pay stupendous amounts of money for a graphic or to develop an "online presence"...

PS: 88% complete myself, going to sit down with a coffee tonight and work out the missing items...

We should have gotten a Hilliergram on this new addition! Or has anyone?

I'm at 76%

They will never get my mobile number.

With all the pennypinching going on it's only a matter of time before they sell personal details - assuming of course they don't already....which I don't.

No sign of the new graphic for me. I was baffled and felt a bit unloved by BA. Didn't they care about my preferences? However, I've now worked out that it's my browser. Change to Chrome and you too can be graphic free! (Both PC and IOS versions)
