No. when you hit 600 to get silver your TPs reset and a new anniversary set. When you then hit 1500 TPs you get Gold and reset and your new anniversary date. You then need 3000TPs within the next year and the same again the year following to get GGL (or 5000TPs in one BAEC year).

Attaining status requires more TPs than retaining it.

600+1500= 2100 TPs to gain Gold.

1500 to retain.

From starting point to GGL:

600TP = Silver
+
1500TP= Gold (2100 Total) Total reset and anniversary date for BAEC status.
+
3000TP Year 1 (5100 total)/5000 TP (7100 Final Total, GGL attained)
+
3000TP Year 2 (8100 final total, GGL attained)

Annual travel needs to be 3000TP to retain. Getting there in 1 year after achieving Gold requires 1000TP less.

hope this helps
