A small token of our appreciation

I’ve had an email from BAEC inviting me to accept a gift, which, I’m told, will be coming from Tordoffs Wines & Hampers.

I’m assuming that I’m not the only one. Anyone know what it’s all about?

I don't expect BA's generosity will trickle down to us lowly silver members.

I got the same yesterday. No idea, my only guesses could be either as Gold, based on CIV (I am nowhere near GGL but north of 90) or having had Gold for >10 years. Or a total lottery or something else! Anyways, a nice gesture and interesting to see what it is!

Nothing for me from BAEC. Austrian recently sent me a money off voucher out of the blue though. No idea what for.

Very smartly presented and a nice touch. A very British way to promote something IMO and well executed.

Worth noting the key fob is personalised (monogrammed) as are the chocolates. Appears to be a promo for new FIRST soft improvements being made as well as 100 year anniversary, and thanks for being Gold and regularly flying FIRST (all specifically noted in a letter).

I remember many years ago I and others getting a selection of bottles of wine from the BAEC Wine Club aka Laithwaites. I think it was in the run up to Christmas.

Hi,

Regards

Received my mini hamper today. Very tasteful and tasty, with some clever and thoughtful personalisation. A really, really nice gesture from BA and very much appreciated by me.

Did we deduce what the 'requirements' are to receive such bounty? (Just interested as a GGL who usually flies paid FIRST!)

Curious about whether this is another "if you are not a UK resident member we don't give a xxxx" initiative or has anyone based abroad received some of the love?
