Tier point level question
Apologies in advance for what may be a basic question -
I'm currently Bronze, with exactly 300 tier points. My membership year runs out in a month and I'm not due to fly till after that date. At that point, will I need to earn another 600 points to get silver, or only another 300?
Thanks in advance for any help!

That was the case but its changed with all the rule changes last November when Bronze was introduced. We have to get use to the new mind-set.

You continue to earn Tier Points throughout your membership year (12 months from your date of joining) even after you move up a tier. So, for example, when you hit Bronze, you're already half way to Silver.

But the OP's membership year ends before the next flight - so at that point the 300 TPs will be reset to zero, a new membership year will begin, and the OP will require 600 TPs during the next membership year to reach Silver (or 300 TPs to simply renew the existing Bronze for a further year).
