Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Club BA.COM and BAC – total cr@p

  • 105 posts

    In addition to the total shafting of customers by introducing BAC to replace BAEC, BA’s IT continues to sink to new lows of incompetence!
    The new black edged ba.com pages are absolute rubbish. None of the links actually work and haven’t for months. It is now harder to get back to the old style pages.
    My Household Account has now lost 5 of its 7 members along with their Avios. The new transactions display is appalling, as are most of the new pages.
    As someone who was Gold for 15 years and Silver for another 5, plus a bit of Bronze, I have given up with this bunch of goons.
    I’ve just used up my complete Avios stock on return trips for three people to Australia on QR (I go every year).
    I stopped boosting when BAC was announced and didn’t spend £2,000 on the January offer to boost un-boosted transactions from 2024.
    My 100k Avios subscription at the original launch price has just dropped its last batch. It won’t be renewed later this month for £899.
    My last cash flights with BA have now passed and I won’t be booking any more.
    I have joined easyJet Plus with the status match offer – Gatwick is very convenient for me.
    I have a large stash of Amex MR points. When it suits me I will transfer them to Avios and book immediately. Alternatively they will be transferred to other airline schemes as appropriate.
    I have always had a large Avios balance in excess of 500,000 – all gone now!


    @Rob
    Perhaps we need a new thread for EJEC – easyJet Plus. It might be quite popular.

    Given the general feeling about BA and BAC (I was at the drinks party at Oxford Circus on Tuesday) and BA’s reliance of USA routes, they might be hit harder than they expect. A lot of people, including me, will not be flying to the USA for sometime (a common feeling at the party). Additionally the general recession that’s coming will close-down corporate and personal spending on travel.
