I’ve just tried to link my BAEC to my new (first) Nectar card. Guess what, quelle fricking surprise, IT DOESN’T WORK! The sign in to BAEC fails when instigated from Nectar, with a long server request code. Apparently I’m supposed to cut and paste this, and send to the “Employee Self Service Centre” – I’m not an employee, I’m a customer (ha ha ha ha).
When trying from my already signed-in BAEC account, it asks me to sign in!! This also fails due to a Bad Request that the server cannot understand.
Is there no end to this awful IT shite at BA?!?!
This is why I want to start sending Avios to Nectar or anywhere else that’s safer and gives better value.
