Looks like really great redemption value, if I weren't on a different flight that exact same weekend I'd be very tempted to try and get in on that.

Weird, it says that my BA Amex isn't linked to my BA account. But obviously it'd be linked because I accrue points every month...

~250 APD and ~50 in Heathrow departure charges alone, plus some smaller US taxes & fees. But yes most of that is YQ.

50K and 0 in economy for 2 return is very tempting.

This does look like very good value. Now, do I gamble on fastest finger first for the F seats or play it safer for J! Does anyone have any insights on how popular the previous avios only flights have been and how quickly they sold out? I imagine demand will be high especially as this is less avios and no taxes.

it is for both cards I believe. The offer I clicked on to enroll and view the details has now disappeared from my account so cant go back to confirm that. I do not know if new sign ups would be eligible.

I have the free Amex but nada for me.

I have had a BA Amex continuously since 2001.
