Thank you this. I think I've misunderstood how the qualification period works, so appreciate the straightener.
I thought I had until 31 Dec 2022 to earn 1125 TP's which would then re-qualify me as gold through 31 Dec 2023.
Is this not the case?
And as such my TP balance will return to 0 on 8 July 2022 and I can then earn 1125 between 8 July - 31 Dec to qualify as gold through 31 Dec 2023?
Failing this, I would need to earn 1500 TP's between 8 July '22 and 7 July '23 to then qualify for gold through 7 July 2024?
With HK out of bounds at the moment, all my major earning will come via work trips to the east coast of the US, which happens on a quarterly basis. As it's my company, I tend to be careful with the routings, class of travel etc, as paying for a LHR-NYC in J is prohibitive (give current J fares on this route).
