My apologies. I responded to the question I thought I'd read which was not the one you had written.
The 'no fee' cancellation applies to any bookings made by the GGL regardless of whether the GGL member is traveling or not. If you book for your husband and then cancel that booking there will be no cancellation fee payable.

I just qualified for GGL in Sept for the first time. it took 24 hours to show over 5k, then another 24 hours to show GGL on "my" system. When I called to apply for Joker, once the agent did all the work, then he came back saying my joker is not ready yet, he said one system showed I was GGL, but the other said not, asked me if I am recently attained GGL, I said yes. He saved everything on the system (upgraded flights), and asked me to call back the following Monday. Of course, no problem the next time I called. So it potentially need 48 hours?
On a side note, for those base in US, there IS a US GGL line, you don't have to call UK. Two phone agents gave me UK number saying there was no GGL line for US, however, I wrote to them, they replied me with US GGL line, and I tried, yes! "welcome to british airways executive club for gold guest list member...."

Thanks in advance.
PS: A call to the UK number got me both the US GGL number and the email.

I've received my GGL card 2 weeks after qualification, but didn't receive a CCR card. Yet the web site says:
Anyone else got recent experience about the card(s)?

Strange I qualified early Jan 2018 - and I received a GGL + CCR card in the mail.
Order was also "Combo Card for GGL and CCC Fulfilled"
FWIW, I am not sure that the BA systems are equipped to deal with automatic / online verification of CCR status yet - I asked at the CCR in early Feb and they said there is no way (save consulting that printed manifest)

yes that's correct, and if you watch when they first scan your bp, and assuming you are not in F, a large red cross appears and states not eligible. if you don't have your CCR card then they will consult the paper list. FLY does not have anything on it to show whether you have a CCR card.

i asked them if it was automatic now, and they said no, but we trust you

same with me most of the time. Last week I had a funny moment when the desk asked me whether I was by any chance looking for galleries first... no, thanks
