Now that you have earned 1500+ TPs in your current collection year, i.e. from 9 November onwards, you will (once BA has processed the change) be Gold for the remainder of this membership year and for the membership year following (until 31 December 2018).

Any eligible flight indeed (no avios flights).

No, only TPs can get you there.

My mother is gold, but has only earned enough TPs for silver this year. Her membership year ends mid April, but her card expiry date is stated to be 31 May. Will she be able to access GF in May? Thanks

I recently dropped from silver to bronze. My memebership year ended 8/2 but my silver card is valid till 31/3.
A couple of weeks ago I booked an HBO fare through my corporate travel agent. Immediately after booking, I want on my phone app and was able to choose my seat. I was curious if it would stick having lost my Silver status.
So I went back to check, using the website this time: the seat selection was retained but changing it again would require payment.
Then finally, when I got to OLCI it turns out my seat selection had been automatically modified. So I'm curious and wondering:
- Should I have been allowed to select my seat in the first place?
- If yes, why did it the system change it last minute? The seta change didn't bother me: although I was switched from Aisle to Window I was moved 2 rows forward and had no seating next to me in the middle seat (theoratical seating at work?)

After booking I also selected the seat for my return leg.. So far it sticks but I now expect it to have changed at OLCI...

:D!

If your card expires 31 March 2017, you have not recently dropped from Silver to Bronze. You are still Silver and you can still select seats on non-HBO fares for free.

Nobody can select seats on HBO fares (except at selected airport check-in machines within 24 hours of departure), so it is an IT error that you were allowed to select any seats at all, unless your corporate agent has some sort of arrangement with BA that lets you do that.

Thanks for this useful thread. I'm currently a lowly bronze trying to deduce what I need to do to hit silver.

Under 'progress to silver' My BA app shows that I have 595 TP so need 5 TP to progress.

For flights it says I've done 2/4 flights needed to progress. Under that it says I've completed 7/50 eligible flights.

I have flights with Malaysia Airlines in July which I was hoping would give me the TP I need (booking class L & N)

So do I need another 2 BA metal flights in order to get silver? I don't understand why it says I've only done 2/4 when I've done 7 BA flights this TP year?

The App has a strange way of portraying Eligible flights, have a look on the main BA.com site and My Executive Club page, that should be clearer. If the 7 flights were all revenue flights then you should be fine, but redemption flights won't count here.

Thank you! Just logged in and it says to progress I need 5TP OR 43 flights so looks all good.

Will i I definitely get st least 5 TP on my Malaysia flights?

did you select the seats before the ta issued the ticket?
if yes my guess is that when you selected the seats the computer has no way of knowing if you are ticketing it as HBO or Plus since the same fare codes are used so it let you select but once IT catches up by checkin as that's when the computer generates a seat for HBO it gives the selected HBO seats

quick question, flights taken on the 8th count towards previous year or new year (i.e. does it reset at 00.01 on the 8th or 23.59 on the 8th (ish of course)).

tada.

Looking at my last reset, the points went back to zero on the 9th so I would be comfortable in saying flights taken on the 8th go towards the previous years totals and the 9th towards the new year. (So 23.59)
