Looking at the Qpoints, 150 are required to get to Silver or OWR and then another 300 to get to Gold or OWS. So as a newbie starting out you need 450 in year one to get meaningful status and then to retain you just need 270 a year. I can manage 300 no problem and 270 a year to retain but if I need 450 to go from nothing to Gold or OWS, I would be well short.

Am I misreading anything or can I do it in 300 only? I think I may scrape Silver in the new BA Club but only gets me a 6 month extension to what I have anyway. I don’t want to start crediting to QR straight away if I end up losing status in both.

Thanks for any input.
