How do you keep track of your tier points?
We use a spreadsheet to work out how many tier points we are going to earn in the year to make sure we keep our status. How do you track yours? Is there app for the phone or pc? Wouldn't it be great is on ba.com it forecast how many TPs you would get based on your current bookings.

I also created a spreadsheet to project miles and points based on bookings including household miles.. mainly because I was bored one day 
I do agree that it would be nice for BA to show this in the Exec Club section on BA.com though.

I have a spreadsheet on my desktop to track and plan for BA TP and Hilton HHonors. Dropped the VS and KLM columns given the business travel element has dropped off.
Why use a complicated app when a simple spreadsheet is easy to change and update? There is where BAA went wrong with T5 by over-engineering with technology some of the simple operational stuff.
If you must, there are loads of spreadsheet apps for the iPhone

I think the OP's comment was based on forecasting TPs/Miles from future bookings. I know the data exists under the individual entries in MMB, but I guess it would be nice if those figures were somehow aggregated and displayed on the account summary in your BAEC home page.

I have a little Word document which tracks each of the Fruitcakes' TPs into the expected / booked future; as we all have different end year dates it needs some management. Of course, if, like others, I did a spreadsheet it would do the adding up for me but I am following Swanhunter's good example and doing the sums myself, albeit not in my head.

Yes, use a spreadsheet as well for future or potential booking. Sometimes booking class depends on the projected points to make sure certain thresholds are met. And since Mrs BBA now also has her own silver card that it definitevely required.
