Yes. You would only need 225 tier points for Bronze, 450 tier points for Silver and 1125 tier points for Gold.

The new reduced tier point thresholds will apply to all membership years which end up to 8th July 2022.
thx for the info. i asked on twitter and the csr said its only for existing members. honestly i don't know which information would be accurate but as always I'm hesitant to take the twitter agent's answer at face value
