I believe this is correct. Previous promotions have however in some cases produced the bonus Avios anyway. The concensus is that any change to the ticket after registrations will however then produce the Avios bonus. For this reason I have just POUG'd Master Tafflyer's FAO-LGW to CE which causes a ticket reissue and will give the HHA triple Avios on the whole FAO-LGW-MCO routing.

Couldn't register, booked flight anyway and then registered today
Hi,
I had the same problems registering on 3rd January but needed to book a short-haul flight so went ahead and booked anyway, but then I got another mail today asking me to register, which I did successfully. So, presumably, I now won't get the - not exactly enormous - bonus on the flight I booked?
Why are so many airline and hotel group websites so crap? They all boast of their 'new look' sites (their IT departments have to justify their existence) and ask us how we enjoyed our visit (what was the purpose of your visit? buying a car or ordering groceries perhaps?) and then they can't even make them do what they are supposed to do. End of rant.

Hi,
I have registered for the triple Avios offer. If I book a Premium economy ticket with BA from for example LHR to LAX and upgrade the ticket to business (I) using Avios points. Will I then get the triple avios offer based on the original W ticket? The rules says we do not get triple avios on award tickets, but is a ticket upgraded with Avios from C to W considered an award ticket? I am going to book the ticket now so appreciate a quick answer.
The new ticket I receive after upgrading from W to C, will I get the I code or the Z code for award ticket?

If you upgrade from World Traveller Plus to Club World using Avios, you will be booked into U booking class, not I (which is a booking class for cash tickets in Club) and not Z either (which is for first class awards).

I'm still bashing my head against a brick wall with this Triple offer.
Tried almost every day since it was announced and still I get the contradictory message "you are now registered for this offer" followed by "Your registration has been unsuccessful, unfortunately you are not eligible for this offer".
I know this was the same message people were getting a few days ago as UK residents were supposed to wait till Jan 5 to sign up but 4 days later and I still can't sign up!
Is anyone else still getting this runaround or am I in a crowd of one?

Two questions based on some earlier messages in this thread that don't appear to be answered yet:-
Does this offer apply to bookings made through company travel desk.
If the first sector is a domestic flight into LHR, does that invalidate the offer? Don't know why it would but referring to an earlier post.

So again, the question to the whole forum is : has anyone received the 3X yet, from this promotion (not the older ones...)?
TIA

I'm new to BAEC (based in WAW so LH dominates everything around here) and the triple Avios offer was a major reason for getting me to sign up. If I'm one of the few who's excluded I think I'll refuse to participate in BAEC on general principle!
