OnePass Trans-atlantic points
In my statement page on OnePass (Home>My Account>OnePAss Activity Since My Last Statement) there now appears a new column in the Elite Qualification Section called Trans-atlantic points - does any one know what this point count does?
I have 32,500 EQM, 16 points and 8 transatlantic points.
Sorry if this has been discussed/asked previosuly but I did try to search the OnePass forums and could not find anything.

Welcome to FlyerTalk!!
Nothing of that sort on my account online. Is your account mailing address in the US or Europe? I have no idea if that matters, but it might.

Europe only - 5/10/15 TATL points will get you silver/gold/platinum
In practice that means it only helps if you fly the shorter transatlantic routes, e.g. EWR-LON as on the IAH routes 15 segments will get you 75000+ miles as well.

I suspect that it an Europe address. My 2008 Elite Member's Guide gives the elite qualification requirements as:
Silver Elite: 25,000 EQ Miles or 30 EQ Points or 5 Transatlantic EQ Points
Gold Elite: 50,000 EQ Miles or 60 EQ Points or 10 Transatlantic EQ Points
Platinum Elite: 75,000 EQ Miles or 90 EQ Points or 15 Transatlantic EQ Points
The rules for EQ Points apply, so a J,Z, R, Y, or H trip across the Atlantic is worth 2 points.
(I know the TATLEQP saves me some headaches of where to find a couple of thousand EQM’s for requalification next year.)

Thanks for the welcome and for the information ^
My address is in Scotland and I do what must be one of the shortest TATL secotrs (GLA-EWR) around twice a month - sometimes in J, more often in Y
Therefore the 8 TATL points makes sense........

...does the 5/10/15 for S/G/P qualification still apply for those with a US address...or do you have to have a European address? I can't find any info on CO.com that sheds light on this.

I've been living in the UK for the last couple years, but kept my US address. If I switch to a UK address, can I retroactively claim my TATL points for the year?

I switched mid-year and they automatically gave me my TATL points for flights earlier in the year. I did not ask about previous years

Do I need to do anything other than just switch my contact details? And are there any down-sides?

Does anyone knows if one earns TATL points only on CO metal, or is it on any TATL flight that earns OP miles (like Star Alliance partner flights)?

I've just switched, and I have some transatlantic segments on US-coded flights on US metal. I'll let you know if I get credit for them (so far, the TATLEQM information hasn't come up at all yet). I'm really hoping you do, since that means I'll immediately be silver and would get my gold at the end of the month.

I flew AC from LHR two weeks ago. I wasn't awarded any transatlantic segment points, but the miles posted perfectly.

The only way it'll be a benefit for me is if I get TATL points for non-CO flights. Did you email OPSC and ask?
