You can definitely earn 300 TPs before the end of March to re-qualify for Silver. Alternatively you could do 300 TPs between April and August to "qualify" for Silver, as if it were the first time. That would seem to make more sense since you'd get 12 months from the point of hitting 400 TPs again.
Great now I understand. I earn't the 400 Tier points in March so will need to be quick to achieve the 500 points for Gold.
Probably going to wait, drop to red and use my 100 tier point balance between now and Aug.
I'm visiting Scotland early August so looking at ABZ - CDG - NCE in business (J, D or C) for 800 points or ABZ - CDG - AMS - TRD for 880 points. I will complete a couple of short flights with work to tip me over the 1000 points.
It will great to use my balance of points and credit card 2 for 1 certificates as a Gold on upper class flights. Plus the lounge access as gold on KLM work flights.
