3. 2018/2019 (TP end Sept) has been very different - I'll finish the year with 595 TPs but thought I would e-mail BA on Friday and ask nicely if they'll consider extension this year instead

Result. Got e-mail reply today from BA to state they'll be extending until 2020.

Thanks, BA

So it seems in practice it's a free pass for a status extension in any future membership year after baby is born provided status is earned each year before it needs to be used?
If status was retained through travel until baby was 15 years old, I wonder whether they would still grant the extension then?
