If I'm guaranteed Silver until September 2020, I could look at crediting flights to somewhere other than BAEC.
As it is, we don't have any detail, so don't know what to do about it.
I'm not sure I agree here. BA are making a gesture (generous gesture, in my opinion), and I am not sure they really care much about the status holders who just scrape status - they are not the most profitable customers.
I guess I am just more relaxed about all of this, since my flying pattern means that Gold is actually pretty easy, as is hitting top/high tiers in other programmes at the same time.
