After seeing your post, I opened up the tool and got to the step where you see both accounts next to each other which means that they probably reverted back to only requiring identical name, birth date, and e-mail address (as my BAEC and Avios accounts have different addresses). I didn't continued as the Avios account has 0 miles.

Apparently Avios staff working on this had to be in at 4.30 this morning!

It seems that they have reduced the requirements you need to fulfil for a Avios transfer. When I tried in January an Avios->BAEC transfer would only work if the address was identical (impossible for those with an Avios account on the UK address and the BAEC account somewhere else).

Lucky those that could transfer. trying for months now but BA tells me to call Avios and avios tells me to call BA.. and so forth. And chat says i need to call them....
Nobody can solved it even tho ALL details are literally the same, and i have over 180.000 avios on avios.com site but it wont let me transfer them to BA. SO frustrating
And what will happen with Lloyds CC holders for which we receive points towards Avios? Will those automatically go to BA?

When I login on Avios.com, it says that I'm a member of Aer Lingus's AerClub. I am struggling to understand what that will mean for me. I have a Lloyds Card... does it mean that the Avios will still be dropped in my Avios.com account? Would I need to call them to do something to my account? Perhaps can they convert it into a standard Avios.com account?

I can not answer the question of AerClub. You need to check the site again. Might be a misinterpretation of an advertisement.

the Question and Answer section stated that your avios from Lloyd's card will be transferred to your BA executive club account once your Avios account is transferred. You don't need to do anything until further communication on your new BA executive account is ready or Avios account is linked to your existing BA executive club account.
