Eurocheat changes?
I am one of those villainous Eurocheats who have been holding onto their silver card for many years earning just 400 TPs per year. It seems like years since it was announced that the EC loophole was being closed, and so I was surprised to find that when my TP collection year ended last week, i'm still being asked to hit 400 TPs over the next year to retain silver.
Is this really true? Will I ever have to earn 600 TPs like the other boys and girls?

Are you wanting to have to earn 600TPs?
I'm reminded of the big red headline at the top of the "good deals" thread in the mileage run board.
Why not just keep quiet and enjoy it while it lasts? Even if it lasts a bit longer than you expected?

my question is, do I trust what it says on ba.com or not regarding this?
strangely, when I log into my BAEC account, it says I need 2,500 to retain GGL. my address is most definitely in the UK (though I shan't comment on whether or not it may have been (most legitimately of course with a legit "mr chris1979 house" address) in the EU in the past).
is my target 3,000 or 2,500 (if I pursue strategy of letting CCR lapse to regain it within first 2 months whilst CCR card is still valid)?

Others have reported similar:

Advice is to take a screenshot if BA suddenly decides to treat things differently that it currently shows on your membership page.
See also the explanation for the two renewals after 2012 here:

Er, because I'm asking if anyone knows for certain what is happening with regard to the abolition of the Eurocheat threshold. If you're not going to answer the question, please don't clutter up the thread with non-answers.
