It is clarifed in the new (1st Feb 04 onwards( T&Cs:
6.2 Card entitlement is based on the number of Tier Points earned in a Year. Each Member’s Card status will be reviewed at the end of each Year before the expiration of the current Card. Tier Points can only be counted once. At the end of each Year or upon promotion to another tier level, the Member’s Tier Point level returns to zero. Members progress from Blue to Silver and from Silver to Gold. Members must ensure they take at least four flights operated by British Airways that are eligible for Tier Points each Year in order to achieve or retain Blue, Silver or Gold Card status.
You should therfore get through on a technicality (i.e., it isn't explicitly mentioned in the current T&Cs)
