I get confused easily I admit! However I had registered for this promotion. I even revisited again to receive notification that you are already registered. After which and In the past few weeks I have flown QR, QF, AY and ofcourse BA. I see nothing on "bonus avios" being posted yet the standard amounts have. What have I been doing wrong people? Does it only "kick in" after the ten?

That is strange. They normally post as Bonus Avios when your actual avios post. Did you register previously booked flights with the form?
As for the other question above, it is possible to drop the FF from the booking and retroclaim avios later.

I received a block of previously-flown re-claimed flights in one go, and then my remaining flights received the bonus Avios along with each flight as they posted.

Ditto. One longhaul sector bonus credited. None of the other 7 flights I have done since that one including 3 later flights on the same itinerary have credited. All booked after registering for the promotion

I’m sure I registered, but equally I’m sure all my bookings were either before this started or were for flights outside the required dates. Seems to happen to me every time!

Not this year though. It's not a huge loss if they don't come through. I'm not going to jump through hoops with BA chasing them down but still if you have a promo at least they should try to keep their end of the bargain

I was checking my avios transactions and was a little surprised to see double avios on 2 shorthaul segments which shouldn't have qualified
13/09 Booking made
16/09 Travel Outbound
17/09 Travel Inbound
18/09 Promotion launched; registered
2x/09 Can't remember the date, but filled out the claim form for 2 x November bookings booked during the sale.
13/10 Double Avios
This has stuffed up my planning as some LH segments are now #11 and #12 .
Would it better flagging this with BA now, or waiting till post-travel of segment 11 (and assuming it doesn't credit the double avios automatically)?
Does anyone have any experience with the bonus credit when it shouldn't have qualified?
