Badly personalised BA email
Received a “Congratulations and welcome to the privileges of GGL” email today:
Dear Mr. Carrotjuice,
Here at the Executive Club, we think our Members should be rewarded, which is why you earn Tier Points when you fly with us. We’re truly grateful for your loyalty, reflected in the 0 Tier Points that you’ve earned this membership year.

Must have been written by whoever puts "You have 12,345,897 Avios. That's enough for a return trip in economy to Manchester !" on the website.
And who wrote the recent email
"It's been some time since we first took to the skies together, 69 years in fact, since you became an Executive Club Member. That’s an incredible 62,358 days!
Since then we've travelled far and wide, with adventures to XXXXX, YYYYY and ZZZZ, covering a total of 994,687 miles together"
where XXXXX, YYYYY and ZZZZZ are three of the mankiest destinations I've ever flown to.

Oxon Flyer Their maths skills aren't exactly the greatest either 69 x 365 = 25,185 ( I couldn't be asked to adjust for the leap years but pretty certain they don't make up the difference!)

Thanks for sharing this, it’s definitely true for the first and last for me - and then going on trust about your deductive skills a fun fact about what happened midway through my 5692 days of membership!

Ironically I've not actually left the airport in any of the places they mentioned.

So I had one of these, hadn't read it properly until now but this thread piqued my interest, it mentioned Frankfurt (first BA flight registered to my EC account in 2000 according to the information in a recent data request), Washington (most recent flight in Jan 2020) and Los Angeles (Sep 2016) so not exactly "in the middle", I wonder how their IT magic is working this out!

"It’s our greatest pleasure, that this year, we can welcome you to Gold Guest List membership"
"From all of us at the Club, we'd like to congratulate you on your new Gold Guest List membership"
A bit bizarre given that I've been GGL for almost a decade now. They make it sound like it's my first rodeo. What a shambles of a communiqué.
