A data point: looking at a Basic Economy flight NCL-BOS, which comes to £326 (with a fare component of £8, which is mind-boggling frankly). Get the following error:
Any ideas?

Any ideas?

You have to be logged in to your BAEC account before you start the booking process, it seems... Logging in on the page with Part Pay with Avios options doesn't work.

Ok, weird. It seems this is a BA IT gremlin: if you 'add' regular economy (£30 each way) to the fare on the booking page under the bit that says "Is this the right fare for you?", then remove it again, it works fine:

It worked for me when using the link but didn't when I went through Google Flights. But as someone pointed out, AA is cheaper even with BA discount voucher. I checked LON-LAX. Shame it doesn't work for flights starting in Ireland, as I wanted to marry it with DUB-LAX in Premium Eco.

This promotion works for those on Military Service fares, available to members of the UK armed forces and veterans via Defence Discounts.

I credit my flights to AA, but do have a UK-based BAEC account. Can I use the code for the booking and then switch crediting FFP? The terms specify UK based BAEC as eligibility (which I fulfil), nothing about crediting flights. For me, the next BA flight I book will definitely be needed for me to requalify as EXP, so I wouldn't want a spanner in the works over 66 quid...

If that sentence is as firm as it comes across then you should forego the offer and book via AA. Yes in theory you will be able to switch cards and credit to AA, however there remains a risk that it won't work. Not because of the offer, just because frequent flyer cards are easy to attribute to a reservation at the point of booking, trickier to change thereafter. In theory a fixable risk (you can ask BA to de-credit the flight, then retroclaim via AA) but if you were looking for total certainty then the answer must be fairly obvious.

Apologies I had a gap between replying which is why it didn't make much sense lol,
as a data point seems to work in conjunction with my employers Corporate discount portal too which is nice.
