But the increase does not actually go into effect until March. Rather than look at the general explanation of the tiers and thresholds, you should look at your personal "counter" when logged into your BAEC account. Does it put you at the "old" (lower) or "new" (higher, but not yet in-force) threshold to achieve/maintain status?
