Promo : Double Avios on up to 10 flights, register and book by 13 Dec 2019
Looks like BA just introduced a double Avios promotion (see https://www.britishairways.com/execu...s/double-avios) for the first 10 flights flown with bookings after now until December.
However, it also looks like you can retro claim back for "sale" fares to 29th August (https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...s-double-avios) though no idea how it would be determined whether a certain ticket was a sale or not.

The website has this line:
"This includes all domestic flights in the UK and within southern Africa. As well as British Airways flights operated by our partners, American Airlines, Iberia and Finnair, when travelling between Europe and North America."
So its only within these regions? Not global then?

4.4. A Qualifying Flight is a flight with a British Airways prefix on any selling class or cabin on any British Airways operated service (excluding Reward flights or upgrades using Avios) or any flight included as part of a Qualifying Holiday
and
4.5.4. Qualifying Holiday booking example: London-Majorca-London return with a hotel would be two Qualifying Flights.
Majorca would not be a qualifying flight according to the line you linked but if you include BA flights, then it makes more sense.

I’m just getting an intelligible message when trying to register
Update: same issue when using the laptop and various browsers. Contacted GGL who have sent it through to the back office. Have had the same issue on every occasion that they set up this kind of offer, but they usually resolve it in a couple of days fingers-crossed.

I had already booked 2 flights today, several hours before receiving this email. LHR-PEK return. I called BA exec helpline and they informed me that if I fill in the form here:
https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...s-double-avios
I would definitely be eligible for double avios, was told should post 72 hours after taking flights. Fingers crossed!
Does anyone know if one books any new flights having registered for the offer, the number of avios shown under "rewards for this booking" tab in MMB will show the double points?
Thanks a lot!

I even found the page on the BA mobile site under my offers and ckicked from.there, still won't work but I notice it mentions UK and Ireland there so possibly WiFi in my current location is the issue.
I do love BAs website and IT, not.

If the BA website was working, I could double check but I'm pretty sure 10 flights is just that. There was an example on the site showing that four legs was four flights.
And like others, I've has the bizarre situation that I can't register but Mrs ST can (and has). Virtually identical profiles.
It is frankly astonishing the number of times the customer experience of the IT is just a FAIL.

Can someone explain what Base Avios means?
So if you are Bronze for example, you would get 200% Avios rather than 250%? (As Bronze get +25 Avios)
If you are flying Business does that mean you only get the Economy Avios? Sorry rather confuzzled
