I just got qualified to GGL two weeks ago and are waiting for my GGL and CCR card. I will travel with BA again next week but not sure if my cards will arrive in time. Can someone PM me the UK phone number or email for me to contact them to get me on the namelist at CCR?

Indeed, great use. Was thinking about doing the same for this year's holiday in March, but decided against it as all in (taxes + fuel surcharge) would have come to 1k EUR too; so in the end I decided to go for the UL-fare ex DE for not much more.
3rd year of going to the Maldives via GGL - which we never would have seen otherwise. I love the direct flights - so this seems great use of the joker. One of BA's better initiatives.

I assume ggl + ccr doesn't get you spa treatments on short haul flights?

My year reset this morning. My TPs have gone to 0 but my card expiry hasn't changed to 2018. And, most importantly, my new partner card nominees aren't available? Is there normally a delay? If yes, how long? If not, time to call GGL?

FWIW, my account shows currently like yours...but the physical card I have is thru 2018...as I just qualified in Jan, and that is what they sent me.

The link in the very useful OP below is not working.
But I'm a diamond member
"Page not found"
Also, I am not sure when I need to contact GGL to ask them to renew by Hilton Honors Diamond Card. It ran out one year about now without me noticing, which was not great as I was about to check into a Hilton hotel.
Any guidance please?

Regarding Hilton Honors Diamond status, I don't know, but I'm sure I'll find out soon as it's approaching a year for me as well. I'm guessing it's either 12 months from when you first got it, or around your expiration year, but someone else will need to answer.

I was just re-qualified for GGL a few days ago. I have a few questions:
1. Can I nominate 1xGold & 2xSilvers again for the new membership year?
2. Can I receive a CCR card?
3. Do I need to contact the GGL line to renew Hilton Diamond or is it automatically renewed?
Also, I wonder if the GGL benefits have been reduced. I was escorted by the airport staff at DXB for both in&out bound in 2016 but this did not happen this week. I stupidly looked for someone holding a plate with my name but no one was there. Have they stop doing this service to GGL's?

2. have you passed 5000 TPs? If so you would have received a new CCR card when you hit 5000
3. i think you need to call, i don't believe it is auto-renewed
