My Tier Point Collection year end on 8/10/2016 I am currently silver with 910 tier points. I have flights booked for late November/December which will get me approx 300 points.

If I did a TP run in September to reach gold I assume that my gold would run for just over 12 months (rest of September 2016 plus 1 year from 8/10/16). If however I did it in November would it run for nearly 2 years? This seems to be a major disincentive to get promoted late in a membership year but I think it is what happens.

Can someone confirm?
If you hit 1500 TPs by September your gold runs for the rest of the current membership year, a full membership year after, and the card expires at the end of the next full month after your full years ends - so your card would expire on 30/11/17.

If you hit 1500 TPs in November (i.e. between 8/10/16 and some date in November you earned 1500 TPs) your gold runs for the rest of the current membership year, a full membership year after, and the card expires at the end of the next full month after your full years ends - so your card would expire on 30/11/18.
