7.1. Tier Points can only be earned for travel on eligible Sectors at eligible fares on either British Airways flights or on eligible flights of certain Airline Partners and will be earned by a Member as set out on ba.com.

The
fact it states [my bold above] is nothing new. No doubt that perfectly anodyne statement will lead to
some people assuming that change is imminent.
