And if it's a consolation, remember you wouldn't be getting triple the F earning rate, everyone gets a bonus which is actually 2 x the Y-earning rate for the route, unless booked in discount economy which earns a lesser bonus.

Yes, is very much weighted away from premium cabins unfortunately; it's probably not enough to sway me away from my current no BA for longhaul policy without a better sale to go along with it.

I had the same success/failure page that others have had. Just after doing that registration I booked a PER-GLA for a few weeks time so will be interesting to see if I get the extra Avios on the SYD-SIN-LHR-GLA flights which are on BA.

Considering the current glitches I'd say you'd be in a good position to call up after your flights (if the bonus Avios didn't credit) and claim you'd registered in time. I had this last year with a promo, took a bit of back and forth but they eventually credited the Avios acknowledging the known issues when the promo was first set up.

Yeah I got the same just now actually, I wonder if they haven't finished setting the IT up properly before making the page live.

Registration successful, no problem.
This is not the time of year this offer would normally appear. I do think this says something about the level of bookings received, or predicted to be received.

I'm going to wait a few days but it's not actually in my Exec offers as per the OP (and I can't see it elsewhere) so it's probably an IT glitch.

Have the same issue (and cannot see it in my offers either) but booked quite a few flights today, so what happens with those? do I get the triple avios or not?

"British Airways offer registration
Thank you, Mr Smiley90, you are now registered for this offer."
Canada-based BAEC Blue account here. No mention of inegibility like others have mentioned here so I'm gonna assume it worked :P Given that the offer says "This is a global offer available to all of our Executive Club Members who wish to travel during this period." that shouldn't be too surprising though...
