This is an *very, very* well known part of the BA Executive Club. BA does not give out free flights, they give out discounted tickets with their miles (now avios) Had the OP done even a modicum of research, you would have know that.
The executive club is named that way for a reason - it is for executives. People who pay for business class or better, and redeem miles for business class. It's never worth it to redeem an economy ticket with BA miles, as you have to pay taxes and fuel surcharges. If you're starting or stopping your trip in London, this is especially terrible due to the UK Government imposing multi-hundred-dollar-fees.
Again, this is extremely well known and is splashed all over the web.
