Aer Lingus calls them "Tier Credits", so as not to confuse everyone with BA's "Tier Points".
Your "Tier Credits" will expire at the end of your membership year.
Though, if like me, you have no status and therefore no card [other than the virtual Green card with no expiry date given] - there is no way of knowing when your year expires.
If you have a Tier Credits balance of zero, you can assume that your new membership year has recently started.

I think we established in the other thread that everyone has a "start date" of 21 November 2016 - but that that doesn't mean that everyone's membership year started anew on that date.

Or do you mean that EVERYONE that was ported over from Gold Circle now has a membership year that starts on 21 November 2016? (But see the quote below - status pax apparently don't...)
Or is it just all Greens? Do all Greens start with a brand new year from 21 November last?

App Tier Credit renewal target?
For what it's worth the refreshed AerLingus app quotes the following for my account:
"You need 701 Tier Credits by 31-05-18 to remain in this tier" - I am concierge and have collected 350 Tier Credits since the changeover.
This would imply that I should not expect to see my Tier Credits drop to zero at the end of May this year.

No; and this appears to betray a basic lack of understanding of frequent flyer programmes.
You can only obtain Tier Credits by paying cash for Aer Lingus flights, and then by actually flying those tickets. Even if you pay for a ticket that you never used, and can't get any money back, you won't get any Avios or Tier Credits for it. If you earn Avios on any non-airline partner, or on any airline partner other than Aer Lingus themselves, you won't get any Tier Credits.
Tier Credits are only earned by flying tickets you paid cash for on Aer Lingus flights only, according to the Tier Credit Earning tables.

if for any reason I was to decide to go for status on Aer Lingus, I have absolutely no idea on what "year" they are measuring me...
