i am aware of the tier point collection year harmonisation but haven't really been paying attention, until now. Pretty frustrated.

GCH for 15+ years. Finally got round to catching up, after a busy work year, to read up on the changes. After hitting gold by Dec 8th, I now have to hit 560TP between now March 2025 to requalify.

My work patterns earn around the calendar year. So 2024 I hit 1500 TP around November in time for the end of year (which is how I can neither confirm or deny I calibrate around company budget reset). With the new BA TP harmonisation rejig, I am now being asked to hit 30% of my annual TP, in a period I would have hit barely 5%.

For the first time I am considering a TP run, I would only be even considering it if I wasn't 2-3 years from GFL.

I am looking at a 2 connections each way transatlantic trip to Cali (DUB - LHR - ORD - SJC or similar) to try to hit at least 440 (possibly 460 if the positioning flights from LHR to DUB are OW). Business class throughout (except the positioning flights Y on an seperate PNR)

But the irony here is due to the start and end point being DUB the itinarary is looking like £2K versus £4500.

Cheers BA, but a Middle finger with love
