Switch to Scottish and Southern Energy, our latest Executive Club partner and you could earn 2,000 BA Miles for joining. And that’s not all – you’ll also earn 500 BA Miles every quarter. That means you could earn 4,000 BA Miles in your first year alone.
The Scottish and Southern Energy Group is a FTSE 40 company and manages the largest distribution network in the UK. When you make the switch you’ll be joining one of the Scottish and Southern Energy Group of companies depending on where you live. Between Southern Electric (England), Scottish Hydro Electric (Scotland) and SWALEC (Wales), Scottish and Southern Energy supply over 6.4 million customer accounts.
Scottish and Southern Energy is the only energy supplier to offer BA Miles. So why not boost your BA Miles balance today – there’s every chance that you’ll save money when you switch too!
To switch simply call 0800 316 2193.
Terms and Conditions
When you make the switch your new service will be ‘energyplus BA Miles’. This service is available on a dual fuel or all electric (electricity only) basis only and is not available if Scottish and Southern Energy only supply gas to the property. The 2,000 BA Miles are payable following confirmation of your set up. Thereafter, the 500 BA Miles will be paid on a quarterly basis following issue of the quarterly bill. This is for domestic supplies only. Availability in the UK only excluding the Channel Islands and Northern Ireland. Not available for some tariff/meter types.

and an important update for those travelling to the US:
Making travel to the USA a little smoother
If you are travelling to the USA from 4 October 2005, the US Government will require information over and above your passport details, before your flight departs.
This will include details of your country of residence as well as your destination address in the US, unless you are a U.S.A. citizen or resident (Green Card holder).
To avoid delays at check-in, we are now ensuring that our website and booking systems can accept these additional details.
Our new Manage my Booking facility on ba.com lets you enter the details when you book – or any time before you fly, as of 20 September 2005.
You can already store your passport information and country of residence in your Executive Club Profile. This feature automatically provides your information on all flights to the U.S.A. However you do still need to enter your destination address each time you fly.

Forgot to mention that one - just logged in now and its only asking for the first nights address in addition to the info that you will already have saved.
Asks for the Zip Code and did not like it when I entered incorrectly. Just asks for name of hotel (or like). Area, State and Zip Code.

Wonder if BA will get wise and do a drop down to select addresses. ie let you save five different addresses that you use the most - I think that would be a great idea and timesaving for all us busy people ??

For the power offer, you are better off switching via Tesco for the 2000 Clubcard points, which equates to 4,800 BA Miles. After six months, of course, you can switch and jump over to Southern / Scottish !

I can't see details of this on the Tesco or Powergen site. Could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!! ^
