Sorry to hijack…I have a similar kind of question:
  • I am currently silver which expires on 31 Dec 2023
  • Currently got 215 points
  • Got a return flight in J to LHR in August which should earn 90 points each way.

When the HKG-LHR leg gets credited in Aug (90 points) that will take me to 305 which qualifies for silver again.

Does anyone know if my membership year will automatically reset at this point? If so then that would not be ideal as that means I effectively lose at least 4 months of having “silver”.

Does anyone have any strategies so that I can only renew my silver in December so effectively I get to keep silver until Dec 2024?

I think if I leave off my membership number on the aug flight then do a retrospective credit in Dec then that might work? But would I then lose the 95 tier points? (Retrospectively claim back 180points but only need 85 for renewal)

Is there anyway to retrospectively claim one way on Dec then submit another request for the return leg in Jan 2024?



Thanks in advance
