Last edit by: Prospero
BUGS
1. Promotion to Gold Guest List (Markie)
2. More Gold Upgrades for 2 than there should be (Markie)
3. Flight details have same date for posting as for flight (Markie)
4. American Airline reward flights do not show and cannot be booked online(not sure if they can be booked by phone)
5. Combining avios points with IB is not possible. (alexphj)
6. TP collection year end on landing page shows card expiry date (i.e. end of following month). Correct under 'My Account' sub-menu. (NWIFlyer)
7. No household account although underlying data appears to still be there (many)
8. language set to english (german not available) (Nephoi)
9. AA Business R class domestic flight shows as Economy(R), but properly credits Avios+TP (El_Duderito)
10. Booking reference doesn’t display for partner flights eve though the tag is there (MaxFlyer)
11. Adding/editing contact phone number (for pax and/or additional contact) to 'Australia (+61)' once saved becomes 'Christmas Island (+61)'. (paulieuk)
12. Unable to logon using username - have to use BAEC number instead. (bakera)

'FEATURES'
1. Bronze/Silver/Gold members have some text formatted in Bronze/Silver/Gold text as applicable. Consensus seems to be that it's pretty, but hard to see…

ENHANCEMENTS
1. Additional detail of flights on Front Page (Markie)
2. Scroll back of transactions goes to October 2018 (Markie)
3. Household account redemptions appear differently, with pro-rate Avios transferred from other members into the head of HHA/redeeming member's account, then the total deducted. (sunshinebob) https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/33741742-post407.html

Perhaps BBC News will start reporting days without access to the BAEC.

A point of concern by now is that the taps were opened up during the daytime today. People were able to make bookings,etc., but there are more than a few on here noticed their data had been mangled in some way or other. Now they have had cause to bring it down again. That really isn't good. Probably one of the worst situations to be in as you have a choice to make on forward/backward fixing where both are terrible options for a system at this kind of scale.

When I logged in earlier today, I noticed few of my tier points missing... My draft complaint is waiting.

It could offer a whole new meaning to 'Black Friday'!

The IT dept is probably just taking the new system out for a spin...

FYI - while I can't login from the ba.com homepage (login button greyed out and the "We're improving the Executive Club" message displayed)

However, I can login from any other page. Just not the homepage.

Everything seems to be in order (correct no. Avios/TP's etc) and I can search for reward flight availability.

Hope this helps.

Correction to the above. I can't login from ANY other page. Some pages give me the "Sorry. Our systems are not responding" message.

My most successful attempts have come from trying to login during the booking flow (from a fare quote page).

Managed to log in yesterday and grab MLE return flight. Only downside is: our return is the day after departure . Hopefully I’ll be able to grab and change the return date.
I noticed that it now deducts the whole avios amount on the main BAEC account transactions’ section and shows a credit for what I assume is deducted on the other household account. I didn’t try logging into the other account.

Report from the Western US around 2100 PST

Login still greyed out and clicking on it gives me:

We’re improving the Executive Club.

The Executive Club is temporarily unavailable while we make some planned improvements. Everything should be back up and running for Wednesday 17 November.

I wonder if BA subbed this out to the same people who do a lot of the government websites. Whether is any of HMs, US or BA doesn't really seem to matter.as far as the competence level.

Feeling slightly smug at having screenshot my avios, TP and lifetime TP balances before it went down…. Let’s hope it’s overkill!
