Silver, getting 100 points. Of course I also had to cancel (without refund) flights that would have got me 100 tier points so Im only just about breaking even. Still not sure if ill be able to keep silver, im 60 points short, its early in the year but we're a long way from free flowing flying!

In comparison, Delta and United have announced their status programme changes. Status members get a 1 year extension to their status (2021 status will be the same as 2020). And, with Delta, all MQMs (tier points) accrued this year will also get carried forward to next year to count towards 2022 status.

The EI approach looks positively mean in comparison!

Was wondering that myself today. With Summer almost a write off at least for Irish based members Aer Lingus will need to amend the policy and just renew everyone until their next year if they have any sense.

They have to. Because if they don't I'd have to rethink my loyalty, especially in what is likely to be a cut throat market once things loosen up a little.

Surely EI must extend, all of my hotel programs have extended long ago and great to hear the parent has now done so, but hope its soon...

I just called the Aer Club number and no change to retaining status (yet). I asked them if they would be extending this into 2021 and the standard T&Cs were read out to me. I reached platinum in March - what timing! Hopefully AL will extend it into next year.

Just had an email saying they are extending my Concierge Tier for another 12months, applicable to people whose membership was due to expire between 01/07/2020 & 31/07/2021. Tier credits will reset to zero on your normal anniversary date, from the wording its sounds like any unused upgrade vouchers will also be carried over as well.

Has anyone newly qualified in their current tier year (and thus should have an expiry for remainder of tier year + a further 12 months already) and received an additional 12 months onto that again? On to a winner if so, BAEC members got similarly lucky in this respects.
