I flew EDI-LHR-YVR in F as a BA Holiday on the 8th Nov returning on the 14th. 250 tier points for outbound posted on the 11th, 250 for the inbound on the 17th and then last night one 500 tier point entry for the double tier point offer taking me to 1,240 and therefore under the current reduced TP requirement gold.

App showed 740 TP with 30th Nov 22 expiry yesterday afternoon and then 1,240 TP with 30th Nov 23 expiry last night.

Like you my intention was to get 2 years of gold from the one trip so hope this will adjust itself at some point.

As a follow up to the above I’ve just had the “Some good news about your membership” email from BA which interestingly (or worryingly) says my gold membership has been “renewed” as opposed to the “welcome to gold” one I got in similar circumstances last time.

I might be over thinking this but does meeting the TP threshold for gold in the window between the 9th Oct and 30th Nov (when I had dropped to silver in terms of TPs earned up to the 8th Oct but was still gold up until the card expires on the 30th Nov) count as “renewing” gold or “attaining” gold. I’m sure it’s been the latter every other time I’ve done this.
