Just got my double points for LCY-GLA return, booked a couple of weeks ago but I am sure I didn't register for the promo as thought at the time I had all my 2019 flights already sorted. Perhaps because these were via our corporate travel agency and they have somehow blanket registered? Nice surprise even if only an extra 250 per leg.

I was just reviewing the T&C's on this promotion after receiving a confirmation email from BA.
A Qualifying Flight is either a one-way (single sector) or a return flight (two sectors) between the point of departure and final destination with no scheduled change of aircraft that must be booked after the Member has registered. Members can receive 100% bonus Avios on up to six Qualifying Flights
I read this as a return flight i.e 2 sectors is a single Qualifying Flight.
So you could be receiving double Avios for 12 flights if you have 6 single legs with no change of planes e.g 6x LHR -> JFK
What's the deal if your 6 bookings are NCL -> JFK (via LHR) 2 sectors out, 2 sectors back?

Your 100% bonus Avios will be added to your account when you take each flight and because you've booked six or more trips, your 2019 bonus Avios will be added when you return home after your sixth flight.

I received the same email. However, I had flown all 6 and had everything posted by the 21st of April.
This included the 2019 bonus Avios which makes my email a bit irrelevant due to it being so late.
Nice of BA to acknowledge participation but they probably should have tailored the message.

Avios double points promo - Not available to folks younger than 18 years old
I had enrolled myself and kids in the BA Double Avios program.
We just completed a flight and found that the kids did not get the double miles.
Upon inquiring BA says that is because my kids are below 18 and they are not eligible for promo miles, but BA did allow my kids to be enrolled in the promotion after which i purchased the tickets.
Shouldn't BA have stopped me from enrolling my kids in the promo if they were not eligible? I got FC tickets for my kids assuming they will get the double miles. I would have probably not travelled BA if they were not eligible for the promotion.

I happened to save a copy of the t&c's for this offer (in case there was a problem later - which there wasn't in my case):
The first t&c was:
Which seems pretty cut & dried if your offspring are under 18?
The first t&c was:

Clearly BarneyMcGrew does, not only that, but he kept a copy of them !
Apparently, you didn't read any of the fine print, as barneyMcGrew indicates the age exclusion was raised in the first point of the t&c.
A reasonable point, however I live in N.I. and find all too often competitions and promotions that in the small print exclude N.I. residents from winning, they don't prevent me from participating. Companies generally find it's much easier just to state exclusions in the T&C, rather than enforce them at the time of participation.
If I was spending several thousands of pounds with a company solely on the basis of a promo, I'd be reading the t&c to ensure eligibility.

Why would they let my kids enroll if my kids were not eligible?

Not sure about the details of this specific promotion, but it's generally only the base Avios which are doubled anyway. So, whether travelling Economy or First, the number of promotional Avios would be the same?
I agree that it is frustrating that U18s are not included - especially as their tickets are generally not any cheaper - but my bigger frustration tends to be that higher classes don't get any greater benefit from these promos.
