Tier Points and Membership year
Hi Ft'ers,
Checking my BAEC account today it says my 'Membership Year' ends 12th April 12. I will go from Blue to Silver before then. Two questions please:
Q. Will my Silver level last for one year from that day?
Q. Will i be able to use the airport facilities afforded to Silver members despite not receiving my card?
Thanks.

tut tut tut ... read the BA Dashboard, you naughty person!! 
1. When you hit Silver, your TPs reset to Zero and you start a new Membership Year from that point [plu a few days, because the year will alway be the 8th of the month, so you may gain a bit of breathing space].
2. The card may take a month to arrive. It's very pretty!! Your next Boarding Pass should show your new status, and thus give Lounge access. If you're on a tight timeline, ask BAEC to send you a confirmation message that you're now Silver.
Please wipe your feet before entering the Middle Class

As long as your flights have actually posted onto your BAEC account then you will be eligible to enter the applicable lounges and your status should be on your BP's.
Please have a read of the sticky which goes into much greater detail.

I saw it sitting with no replies for a while and I decided to bump it whilst replying. Thanks for the clarification. ^
