Thanks!
Delta is Insider special: 150,000 MR, (I have Biz Plat, but 50% back would be 75k, so in essence same price, just pain to wait for points to return to account...)

One more question: Which cc is best to use? I have Sapphire reserve, PRG, Biz Plat...

I can't book a ticket with avios for someone else from my account? It doesn't give me the option to enter the travelers name, it automatically puts in mine.

family account, youre correct.
regular account, check near the top sonething about if the accountholder is flying. make sure you check no.

Is there a way to switch the account type?
Or to check which type I have?

I've had that in the past with a regular (non family) account where I had to just book on the phone and convince them to waive the phone booking fee as I was unable to book online.

One day you just lost the ability to book for someone else? It's such a pain to do by phone.

BA.com having issues canceling an award ticket comes up error try again any help?

Quote from: username on March 08, 2017, 12:42:05 AM

For a while now, at least for me. I end up calling.

It looks like the system changed somewhat. Its now allowing me to cancel online. (But in the past, it asked for the CC used for the booking. Now it does not)

A few months ago I tried booking and that's what happened. I haven't tried since.

have 200,000 BA avios, nothing usefull in past 2.9 years. tonight bought nyc city pass under experiences. is there a list of cities that BA sells experiences for? I am not asking a list of city passes, but a list of cities to spend avios miles on experiances. so far , new York, Chicago. PHL came up with nothing.
also, is there a list of cities for hotels, appears its only for larger cities but its a guessing game

Anyone have an isse with BA app? I've been tring to do general Avios search and it doesnt let me get to login page. Page appears for a second then screen blanks out. Tried force stopping and uninstalling app with no luck. Even if im logged in it doesnt allow me to look at current reservations.

I know using avios points for experiences is ususally not a good use of points but has anyone used them for trips or activities in
Europe and had good experiences, especially in Switzerland.

Seems like BA isn't showing any AA close in saver space, anyone know what's going on?
ETA: All availability not just close in.

Its nonexistent? Or is there on AA and just not showing on BA. Been reported that you may have to call BA to get saver availability that wasnt showing.

Showing on AA and not BA, reps can't see it either.

BA system for AA award space is completely broken.
