Might find the legroom disappears too with squeezing more into the aircraft.

Loads of knee-room on EI Regional in Economy, even for a six-footer

From another Forum ... "...the discount is only available on BA marketed and operated flights and does not apply to travel on any BA franchisee or oneworld alliance airline, or any flight operated by a codeshare partner. The Ts and Cs also mentions that the discount is for online bookings only."
So not a great deal of use for me.

I've heard that BA are addressing this anomaly and that the discount should be available soon to those who hold the card but are travelling from outside the UK. Only a whisper on the grapevine, so no chapter and verse (yet). Just keep checking is the Order of the Day I guess.
Yes, overseas residents CAN register, but to use their words:
Hi,
Thank you for getting in touch, you can input your South African address and we can get your card shipped out to you. Please be aware that our card is only for offers in the UK, apologies for any inconvenience,
Kind Regards

Bugger! Just seen this and "Shock Horror" realised we booked and paid for our April flights to Trumpland last week ....So, assuming Big Don will still let us in -

Flying AA to the USA ex-DUB is infinitely cheaper, even with connection costs. In addition you get a better cabin, better food, cleaner aircraft and ... US pre-clearance at DUB, which is painless and saves hours of queues/lines. "The only way to the USA" ... https://matrix.itasoftware.com 
PS| Matrix takes time to learn, but basically scrapes ALL airline websites for fares. the sub-set of google fares isn't as comprehensive..

VictorNavrad ... did you go in to ba.com via the DDS website? Or apply the code direct in ba.com? I believe only the former route will achieve the desired result.

Used the DDS website and code to get the special discount, its a joke ! As for posting the code on a public forum the DDS website needs a valid login to access the code so I do not consider myself an idiot to mention the code on this forum. The web is awash with sites that offer discounts and the majority are scams; I hope the DDS isite s genuine but the BA offer is not a good deal

BA is very rarely a good deal, especially on long-haul.
Thanks for clarifying, VictorNavrad
