Because you can't. You could have 15,000 TPs all from Cathay and be Blue then take two I Class returns on BA to AMS and still only be promoted to Silver, a new membership year and 0 TPs.

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 Silver or Gold Card status.
