I had a TP-run flight with AY in December, just a few days before my membership year ended. Flights did not register, I called BA and they said I must wait seven days before claiming points/miles. In fact, they said that the computer system wouldn't even allow for claims if the flight was less than 7 days.

Ok, so after 7 days I claimed the points/miles online. Two days later I called BA again and a very helpful lady said that the flights were approved and would show up on my statement within a day. And so they did ^

Normally I'm more patient but this was just two weeks before a long-haul via LHR and I really wanted my gold status to be processed and ready.

So I flew AY VNO-HEL-ARN at the beginning of April, all on the same ticket number.
Neither flight posted, so I submitted a miles claim online, one for each leg. Two weeks later, I get an email saying the VNO-HEL leg was approved (miles & TPs posted), but the HEL-ARN leg was rejected:
"This journey has already been
claimed and any eligible BA Miles and Tier Points have
already been awarded to your account."

I finally got around to digging up the ticket number again to resubmit a claim for HEL-ARN, but it's rejected the second I hit 'submit', citing "Your claim can not be submitted as a similar is already rejected by the partner".

What should I do now?

Me and Mrs Anselmi had exactly the same problem with our ARN-HEL flight. Haven't called yet to BAEC so miles and TPs are waiting to be posted.

Must be something to do with Finnish-Swedish relations

I had a very similar situation, outbound posted but inbound not. Claimed for inbound but rejected as Echo J pointed out.

I called BAEC five minutes ago, was asked the ticket numbers and the agent said she will send the information to London again for correction. We shall see...
