I too was on an avios booking and received the magic status extension email. If there is any correlation with CIV, it will be an inverse correlation since mine must be very low at present

I'm a bit bemused by people still trying to tease out eligibility from evidence in this thread. Unless I'm mistaken, recipients were a subset of bronzes, silvers, golds and lifers; from various countries; who paid with Avios, cash, or some mixture of the two; were primary passenger or otherwise; and who may or may not have been disrupted.

From what I've been told by a BA rep in the UK is that whatever status you have at the end of the year is what will be extended for the 2 years.
I seem to be the only one thats asked the rep this specific question so would be good to get more data points on this.
If anyone can call and confirm this it would be nice.
(I asked this because I was only 20TP away from silver for this year and I have 8 or so months to go until my collection year ends and I wanted them to wait until I hit silver....but she told me it didnt matter)

As for me, a soft-landed silver on 110TPs this year, I don't think I'll bother trying to move up to Gold.

I guess nothing for it but to check email regularly for the next few days.
I've not seen much mention of that apology email on here.

How have they still not updated our membership expiry yet??? Why even bother sending an email if you can't even deliver within a reasonable timeline?

I was prevented from flying BA during the period of disruption only because they don't operate ORD-MEX. Hardly my fault. Where can I initiate court proceedings?

Send an email to [email protected] and explain that you overstayed your parking due to a cancelled BA flight. They refunded my pod parking as a goodwill gesture on that basis. I do park there quite often so I don't know if that was a factor.

So let me get this straight - you get a ridiculous and unnecessarily generous handout and yet you're .....ing about it taking a few days to update?
