I am sat on 1420 TPs and have plenty of flights planned.
I was hopeful to get to 2000 TPs to get my GUFT before the end of my membership year.
On Weds my BAEC online account showed that I needed 580 TPs to get my GUFT and now ir shows 1080, is this correct?

I thought I retained the Euro Levels for 2 years?

You retain the Euro levels that you have already hit - not the ones your were striving for.

So you will be able to retain Gold at 800 TPs for next 2 years as you were already over that quota. However, as you never managed GUF2, you'll now need 2500 TPs to hit that level. (It's a bit like a person who was on Silver now seeing Gold is 1500 TPs - they never got it previously so now need the UK levels)

Hope that helps.
