Whose birthday are we celebrating?
I’ve just checked and have received it. Which prompts me to ask: are we thinking about this the right way around? I think @thisiskosman is onto something in post #2.
Ok, some of us have recently benefited from a “birthday bonus” of 2,018 Avios each - individually, on our birthdays.
But - given several of us have received 2,019 Avios despite it not being our birthday today - perhaps this coincides with a rather different “birthday”. One celebrated this year - and one about which an announcement was made today in relation to re-liverying a 747 in BOAC colours?
I suggest this isn’t a BA IT failure* but rather a birthday gift to BAEC members to celebrate BA’s 100th birthday?
* except for those who haven’t received it (yet?)

Nothing for me either and nor did I get a bonus on my birthday
worth contacting the missing avios account on here? Lol
Does appear to be a bit off to give to some but not others
for those getting the avios did you get an email because I’ve opted out of marketing ons.

I have never received a birthday bonus or email offer IIRC.

Be intrigued on how the algorithm decided who received it.
