I assume I would drop to silver after 31st Oct if I hadn’t achieved 1125 points in the 9th Sept to 31st Oct window?
Alternatively I assume I can just take a trip before 8th Sept for 820 TPS and I would then qualify for Gold until 8th Sept 2023.
Correct on all assumptions I believe.
Even though it might be tempting to top up the 305tps you have already, it might be better to plan a trip from 9th September onwards and try to achieve the 1125 points ASAP while you still have your gold benefits.
