To add to the comment #1991 from Tobias-UK, the app on my iPhone is still showing GGL etc. I've noticed that the gold block with the barcode in the centre of the screen on the 'My account' tab has changed my name to Mr John Smith until I touch it, at which point it displays my actual name and EC number. Perhaps this was always the case and I just hadn't noticed - doesn't matter, anyway.

Now I can get back in, I notice there is a separate partner card nominees list for nominating people for cards. Previously you picked from people on the F&F list. This is definately an improvement, especially if the partner card list is not subject to the issues with restricted amendments which the F&F list had.
I may try using it to nominate someone in the next day or so - wish me luck

Wait time for GGL line appears to be between 25 - 40 mins at the moment. I cannot imagine what the wait time for a non priority line is!!

I have been trying the new number for a couple of days (since I presume they have closed Didsbury!). I am now on hold for the 4th time for 20min and am about to give up. Anyone else having problems?

Crazy to think back then I thought it was a massive over-reaction!

Also I had no issue with taking three through LHR F Wing into lounge last week and then moving over to CCR with one guest.

The only problem I have now is with the "upgraded" website. It says sorry wrong username or password each time I try to log in - I have to change my password to the same one and then it works!!

Fancy missing you in SYD - we could have had the odd glass of Four Pillars and tonic! We were lucky - a couple of days later, it was a mess! Loks as though we won't get back until next year, although my project in AUS and PNG looks as though it's hit the rocks (no pun intended!). See my post above for current BA issues!

One hand gives, the other takes away
I guess it may come back in a few days.My 'Family and Friends' list is still intact.

I was feeling brave and just successfully nominated someone for a partner card! The nominee now receives an email with a link to accept the offer, and clicking the link actions the upgrade - so it's not an instant status change as it used to be. (FWIW the person was previously on my F&F list, moved easily onto the new nominee list; haven't had a go at nominating a completely new person yet)

Well - this BA tech upgrade seems to be the gift that keeps on giving in certain instances! Just got the below through:
As a Gold Guest List Member who’s reached the extraordinary milestone of 9,000 Tier Points, we are marking your achievement, with the choice of a reward, once more.
Which of these rewards is the best one for you?
Once you’ve decided, simply call your Priority Assistance line, and we’ll make it happen.
While I will admit to reaching 8K TP's in 1yr, 9K has eluded me, and it definitely hasn't been possible during a pandemic!

Well, it's interesting that my wife and I both received the same e-mail as you Pilot37
We're both Gold and we both managed just shy of 2800 TPs this year. She did exceed 9000 lifetime TPs which is what we thought may have triggered the mail, but clearly not.
Clearly this is something stemming from the recent BAEC upgrade. I'd definitely appreciate the upgrade voucher although I doubt we'll get it
