Good day! I would just like to inquire or clarify about the terms regarding Asiana Club.
I need 20,000 miles to be upgraded to Gold
I need 40,000 miles to be updated to Diamond.
My base date will be reset and have an additional 24 months once I was upgraded early.
For example I am a member. My base date was let's say May 2018. That means May 2020 will be the end of my 24 month period to accumulate miles for tier upgrade. What if I managed to get 20,000 miles by April 2020? I will be upgraded to Gold right Until May 2022? My question are:
1. Will I have additional 24 months (May 2022) to get the remaining miles to be a Diamond member?
2. How many miles do I need to accumulate after the upgrade to be a Diamond member? Do I need to have 40,000 miles from the time I am upgraded? Or just an additional 20,000 miles for a total of 40K miles?
3. If I became a Gold member for 24 months. How many miles do I need to accumulate during the 24 month period to be a Diamond member?
Thank you!

If you earn 20,000 miles by May 2020, you will get Gold status up until May 2022. All status qualifying mileage balances will be reset in May 2020, at which point you will start at 0 miles.
From May 2020 -> May 2022, you will need to earn an additional 15,000 miles to regain Gold Status for another 24 months or earn 40,000 miles to be instantly upgraded(+24 months) to Diamond.
Hope this answers your question.

To get Gold status, you must earn 20,000 miles by February 2022.
To get Diamond status, you must earn 40,000 miles by February 2022.
In your example, since you are joining Asiana Club in February 2020, and earning 20,000 miles in March 2020, you will be promoted immediately to Gold status until February 2024. If by any chance you do earn 20,000 more miles in addition to the 20,000 miles required for Gold status by Feburary 2022, you will then get Diamond status until February 2024.

Since you are joining in February 2020, you will have until February 2022 to earn the 20,000 miles and will gain status until February 2024. If by any chance you do get 20,000 miles before February 2022, you will be promoted early as a bonus and also retain your status until February 2024.

I opened an Asiana Club account, then applied for the Bank of America Asiana card here in the US. Since then I've completed the spend requirement and earned the 30k sign-up bonus plus about 3566 miles from normal spend. Additionally, I completed one trip on NZ that was credited to OZ.
Here's what I'm left with:
Does anyone know how the 5000 mile figure is calculated? I can't figure out how they get from 33,566 co-branded card miles to 5000 of them counting for tier purposes.

I hope that is not what's practiced in actuality. I believe the language on the wbsite is what's making people ask this repeatedly.

The results from my experiment are in and, unfortunately, it doesn't look like they are too favorable.
I opened an Asiana Club account, then applied for the Bank of America Asiana card here in the US. Since then I've completed the spend requirement and earned the 30k sign-up bonus plus about 3566 miles from normal spend. Additionally, I completed one trip on NZ that was credited to OZ.

Once you achieve gold and working towards diamond that number will chang to 10000 even thought you didnt earn any more miles from the card
In other words, if you are aiming for diamond, you can consider yourself having done 23982 miles right now, the rest needs to be all BIS miles tho

Thanks for the repeated confirmation. However you guys realize that's not what the OZ website says right? OZ website clearly says your base date will reset once you achieve an early promotion. The only way I can think of "resetting" is that OZ starts 2 years from date of early promotion, making status only valid for 2 years instead of 2 year + remainder of current 2 year period

Furthermore, on my own OZ Club page, it still shows my base date as August 14, 2019, the day I joined OZ Club as Silver.

UAConcorde,
The only time that your Base Date resets is when you get a Lifetime Status (Diamond Plus or Platinum) and then it resets to No Base Date at All for qualification. Your miles will still expire and now you get a Mileage Discount coupon for every 100K miles you earn in a 2 year period starting from your Lifetime date (rounded to the end of the month). There's no limit to the number of coupons you can earn but they only last for 1 or 2 years (sorry I forgot since I haven't made the 100K miles mark in 2 years since I got my Lifetime D+).
If you qualify early then you Base Date stays the same but you get the benefits of your current level until your Base Date and the 2 years after that. I believe there's a post on this thread that I did a while back on my OZ history that shows how it all works.
