I have the free BA Amex (UK) so perhaps this is "121". Someone posted they had "123" which may refer to the BAPP Amex?
// Marketing segment data is going to be added to the doubleclick url of the ads
Well, something isn't right, because I see an ad for the free BA Amex despite already holding it.

I usually book BA flights indirectly except for Avios bookings.
The last time I booked a longhaul directly on BA.com, it was in W, although I usually fly BA longhaul in J and my latest BA flights were all in J.
Under "My frequent trips" on the logged in page, it suggests a longhaul in W and a shorthaul in M.
FWD_BKG_DISCHARGE_STN_CD-LCY
When you open the app, it usually shows some scenery from your FWD_BKG_DISCHARGE_STN, perhaps it is related to this, don't know if the app accesses the BA website or some other server.

I get 3 references to 'birthday' when I search - all three give the same block of data but the first and second is preceded by "// Marketing segment data is going to be added to the doubleclick url of the ads" which perhaps indicates that they are looking at how they can enrich data that gets sent through adverts?

This is fascinating.Thanks for pointing us at it.
As for me most of it's right but some oddities
All good so far. Assume standard black BA Amex must be code 123.
Errr... I have never been to Marseilles by train, plane or automobile ever and a fortiori not on a BA plane.No idea about that.

I end up in LH in F, but normally more through upgrades than bookings.
FWD_BKG_CABIN_CD-F
Actually no. My next trip later today is DUB-LHR in C today and then LHR-LOS in F tomorrow.
FWD_BKG_DISCHARGE_STN_CD-LHR
Yes
FWD_BKG_TIME_IND-S
If that means that more usually than not I don't book months in advance that is true.
Would be interested to hear what these are if we can collectively find a database of them. I don't think (if it helps) that I registered for any specific campaigns etc at the moment.
Sniff! DYKWIA??? No distinction made between ordinary Gold and GGL or CCR. I am offended and I will sue....

This is a pretty useless comment
