Both mine and wife account were hacked. BA are efficient in restoring the account with the Avios restored to its original balance.For me it took 5 days and for my wife’s between 7 and 10 days(I havent read the email properly as they were asking for ID and address proof) and replied late to the email .
Normally they should have called you by now and later it will be all in Emails for restoring the account.I have called BA Exec Club number only once as the fraud team left a voice message to call back.

BA have called me twice yesterday and it took 5 days to act on my account, My cancelled flight booking was reinstated with a New booking reference, My email address has been updated from the hacked Email address , I have also changed password to a New one.
My email address has been changed from gmail to mail by the offender.
My account will be unlocked by the Audit team on Monday and the Avios balance has been restored to where it should be yesterday.Thanks BA.

@LD27. Thanks for giving your thoughts.
My only future flight redemption was cancelled when hacked , I have received a Full refund today. They didn’t deduct 35GBP per passenger which was strange as I have paid 27k Avios and 405 GBP and received 405GBP back to my card.Today being only third day for me.

I have a household BA Exec account and have close in 1 Million Avious in the account and myself should have had 800k.
My future booking for next April has been cancelled and my email address has been changed from (example abc.xyz@gmail.com to abc.xyz@yahoo.com).
Just called the BAEC and my account has been locked and been passed for further investigation.
I am not worried as I dont have immidiate flights in the near future and I believe my 800k Avios should be restored .They cannot give details about my account as it’s been compromised.
How long would this take and likely outcome? Will they reinstate the flight for next Easter.

My claim with HSBC has not been successful and was asked to make an initial claim with the airline. But I have taken the refund from BA. I will ask for additional costs from BA before i go back to Aviva again.
I don’t think I can claim expenses from BA after I have taken a refund.

I had to call HSBC premier today as it’s been more than 10 working days after I have submitted my additional documents for my claim to be settled.
As they are super busy with claims the new SLA is about 15 working days.Going forward i buy tickets with Amex card for me to use Amex Platinum insurance. They never took more than couple of working days.Last December was in Dubai and had to claim on Amex Platinum for Medical reasons (Influenza B virus). Bill was about 260 GBP for blood tests and seeing a doctor.Bill was settled without me having to send the receipts or the reports.(Was warned I can be asked at random in next 30 days after the payment was made).

My claim was reviewed after 10 working days due to the amount of claims because of Greece fires and ATC, The claim is still pending because as I haven’t taken a refund from cancelled BA flight and also they need letter from BA that the flight was cancelled.

Europcar in Cairo wont rent out the car without IDP. The first time I took IDP was in 2012 and no rental company bothered to check and just took again this year as the T&C of Europcar specifically asks for IDP. Glad I took it as they refused to give the car without IDP.

I agree before covid we could do takeaway for 60 Pounds even though we are just three of us (One daughter).Last August me and my daughter were sitting in the No1 lounge and was wife was only allowed to use 15GBP on the PP. Even when me and my daughter did turn up at the restaurant ,Wife wasn’t allowed to allow to use our credit as we didn’t dine in.

It needs to be dine in and no take away .To use the guest credit the guest needs to be in the restaurant and not in lounge or elsewhere in the airport.
