My year ends on 9th November. Should I assume from this that I will retain Silver until 31st December now? In which case, I can delay my match to extend my BA Silver.
You can never be sure but they're not going to exert much effort dicking around with status downgrades, new cards and such like after 27/10/12 just for two months when they will just become a windscreen scraper. Then again, it's only the website address that's changing. All the old algorithms will still be there...
