1)get instant status on BA, it might be an incentive to do it there. ...and since I have read that many people here got that kind of deal, I am thinking why not try it...

2)they will surely not turn away my business just because they have comped me a few years earlier and I might not have flown as much as they expected.

1) BA will not comp, only in extremely rare circumstances such as being able to prove that you can and will spend some serious money on premium class travel.As in controlling a large corporate travel budget.Please post a "comp request" thread on the BA board and see what happens. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

2)This is exactly what they will do. They may not turn your business away per se, but they will not comp you again if you didnt justify it the first time. Granted, the airlines are all struggling now but even then they can only make so many concessions to attract business. If repetitive comping was that easy/widespread why would anybody here ever bother actually putting in the time/effort/money it takes to reach status.

Otherwise, yes , all is good http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Oh, and this one is for sunseeker...(and for Gaucho100K who I am indebted to):

This is what I'll do from August to November - so brace yourselves for some outrageous trip reports http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif.

I agree withJohnG BA may comp you to silver but I think a gold comp would be VERY tuff to get. My co worker who takes the about the same amount of F transatlantic trips as me (14 last year) + e shed load of short haul didn't get a comp from UA 1k to BA gold they just gave him silver. Of course within a couple of months he made gold anyway.
