Your partner cards will expire 1 year after issue. If you make GGL say 31st of March 25, you'll have to nominate by 30th of March 26.
"
Your Partner Cards will be valid for 12 months once they're available to use on your account.From 1 April 2025, any Member nominated for a Gold or Silver Partner Card will receive the applicable level of Membership benefits for a period of 12 months following the effective nomination date.
Here’s an example:
- Your British Airways Club Partner Cards are available to use from 1 April 2025
- You nominate a Member for a Silver Partner Card on 1 July 2025
- Your nominee will remain a Silver Member of The British Airways Club until 31 July 2026
At the end of the Partner Card validity, your nominee’s Membership level will be determined by the number of Tier Points earned in their previous or current qualification period (whichever is higher), unless nominated for a subsequent Partner Card."
