I'm fully aware of that - but isn't marketing meant to make you think you are?

Have now received the email:

”Treat up to 5 guests travelling with you to lounge access, when you fly with us between 14 December 2018 and 6 January 2019.”

BA look have confirmed +5 guests for Gold & GGL @ T5

British Airways look to have confirmed Gold & GGL members can take up to FIVE (5) guests with them into First Wing/First Lounge with the caveat that they may be referred to Club Galleries if the Flounge is at capacity. Policy valid from 14th December 2018 =} 6th January 2019

Yes, but however well the marketing is targeted there will always be someone amongst millions of BA customers who takes it as a personal affront and feels they should be 'entitled'.

I didn’t get an email and was told that this is targeted, so no email, no extra guests... we had our son with us so were a group of 3. No problem, just went off to Galleries.. got the impression the staff were fed up with people quoting ‘the email’ which most of them hadn’t been sent.

Yep - I got the email on Sat 15th Dec - but am not flying over that period so I expect it was just a mop-up email, maybe to try to persuade me to go somewhere with 5 friends after all
