Enhancement to achieving GGL

Came across this response from the BA Twitter account. A future enhancement or a newbie at the controls.

[For the benefit of those who can't see the picture, BA Social Media are suggesting that 10,000 TPs a year are required for GGL membership]

I think we can assume the newbie / not had their second morning coffee area.

Well at least we know where the goal posts are, even if that poor fella had an unfortunate morning.

Try IHG Royal Ambassador...

Last year was somewhat exceptional for me, which meant I hit 5000 for the first (and probably last) time...

Looking forward, the year to 08-Mar-18 should see me organically within spitting distance of 3000 TPs, so I would probably spend a bit of my own money to retain GGL.

Of course, if they move up the GGL retention threshold (to 5K a year ?) then all bets are off

I'm sure Head for Points mentioned that the criteria for Royal Ambassador has been published.

EDIT: here's the link
