If you're not even likely to make Silver in future there's another argument in favour of going for Gold now: unless the rules change you'd get a "soft landing" to Silver, giving you an additional year with meaningful status.

A bit of a simpleton question here..
At present I am bronze, after a trip in September I will be silver.
I have two trips planned in November and December (when I will be silver) which were booked when I was blue, the other at bronze.
Will I earn the silver tier bonus for these two trips or at the booking status?

By February 2016 I should have around 1,100 tier points. My membership year ends in March 2016.
I just totted it up and realised Gold is relatively achievable.
I don't plan on taking another J trip until May 2016.
Could I create a new account (and therefore have a new membership year date) as a workaround to preserve the tier points? I would delete my old one as it's not really cherished!

Asking for a friend. Both of us on 920 TPs, he flew BOG MAD LHR on IB, a couple of days later he had the Avios, TPs and became bronze.
This week flew BCN MAD BOG also in IB, Avios and TPs credited but the BAEC app says he still needs 2 eligible flights for Silver
Is this something that takes a while to catch up or does he need to call BAEC?

I guess what I am asking is, is it possible for TPs and Avios to be credited but the flights not to be recognised as eligible at the same time?

The important thing is whether or not your friend's status correctly updates to Silver, which should happen shortly. If that doesn't happen he'll need to chase BA. If it does, he can ignore the "eligible flights" counter.

If the TP's have just posted I would wait a few days.

MH lower Y TP's
Hi there,
Just wanted to confirm if low economy on MH will earn 5TP for <2000 miles flight, or still 10 TPs.
Cheers!

For avios and TP earning in economy on MH:
- L, V, S, K, M, Y, B, and H earn avios and TPs
- N, Q, O, and G earn nothing
This post on a blog may give you a method of finding boking classes on the MH webiste when booking.
