Lowest ever Gold CIV?
I had a quick look at the manifest yesterday, and noted my CIV as a Gold was 17. 
My younger brother, who has flown fewer flights than me (also Gold), had a score of 38!
We had wondered why his meal choice was taken a few people before mine!
Truthfully it made absolutely no difference to the service.

Are you sure it wasn't 37?
The CIV range for Gold is 36-96.

A bit of me wishes you would try, just to see how BA word the reply. It would be funny if they gave you some Avios for hurt feelings and diminished fraternal bragging rights. But indeed the answer is that the CIV is calculated on a rolling basis and it can take up to 3 months for the correct figure to show.

Also naughty Crew having the manifest openly available
This whole CIV score is far too important for some Card holders, but as others said, yes Gold starts at 36, so you are still on your Silver CIV, but I am sure it will be updated in due course.

What would a matched bmi refugee GCH who has only just done enough flying in the last year for bronze have as their CIV? Lower than the OP I would imagine. Perhaps that is why I never get "the talking to" from the CSM.
