Does anyone know how long does the transfer take? I am looking to book NYC to LHR in 2 weeks, does it take the standard instantaneous or 3-4 days?
You can link your BA account to your Qatar Airways account (now uses Avios miles) if you’re looking for a Qatar Airways booking with miles.
Citi have 40% bonus to QR right now
I have no upcoming plans, but BA has always been good to me for booking cheap AA domestic flights.
But I miss the good old days when certain short-haul flights were just 4500 miles.
You able to use avios that you transfer to BA on Qatar since they changed to avios too?
Also TPG saying that 100k Avios/$5k spend offer on BA, IB, EI cards are coming to an end on 6/30

DO NOT DO IT… Unless you want to sell your kidneys and pay BA for STUPID SURCHARGES !!!
Silly rabbit, Avios is for Partner Redemptions!
Never redeem on BA. Redeem on someone like Alaska instead.
why Chase always 30% on BA while AmEx is usually 40%?
a nice thing about Avios is they usually let you pay part cash for 1.2 cents per Avios, a great price.
With all the BA horror stories as of late, I wouldn’t touch a BA award booking with a 10 foot pole.
Can you explain what horror stories we should be aware of? I’m looking to book American airlines through ba avios for a domestic flight to ny next year.
I’m curious also
Look at flyertalk. Threads on threads of cancelled flights, insane hold times and no availability to reschedule.
I am hold right now with BA. I had to do a flight with them and now regretting it. I paid for standard economy, upgraded to plus with Avios, my ticket spans their Book With Confidence period (they are ending no cost changes), I have been on hold/calling for last two weeks and wasted over 15 hours trying to get a simple change made (simple for other airlines) but with the base fare paid PLUS Avios upgrade, they need Albert Einstien from the back office to determine the solution to E=MC2. Does that help with the HORROR that is BA??!
I suggest trying to get connected with their Twitter support team. They’re usually more competent, although it takes close to 48hrs for responses.
+1. Twitter is the only way to communicate with them and it’s only decent. But plenty of (if not most) companies are the same now. I had a little while getting a points redeposit but after about 3 weeks of back and forth it was done. Not awful. They are a 15% to 20% discount on AA awards and no fees on AA. Using Avios on Iberia and Aer Lingus also is really great reward rates with low fees. Most especially off-peak, which is most of the year.
In other words, just like almost every other airline at the moment. (FWIW I’m not a fan of BA, they’re pretty mediocre as legacy airlines go.)
