May 5 Update: British Airways will allow parents to be to extend status, Miles & More discounted tickets, Choice Hotels Bonus

News, Tips & Tricks
British Airways Executive Club has followed in the footsteps of Air Canada Altitude and several other programs as they will now allow to be parents to put their Executive Club elite status on hold for a year:

Executive Club Members who may be travelling less than usual as they’re on maternity, paternity or adoption leave will now also be offered a ‘status freeze’.  This means their membership will be put on hold for a year, so they don’t lose their hard-earned Executive Club Bronze, Silver or Gold status - even if they take fewer or no flights. 

Also when those parents enroll those children as part of a household account they''ll get 1,000 bonus Avios as a welcome gift. Find out more here.
