Is that correct? Will those tier points also count towards this year's total? Or will they eventually disappear from my account?
For most people the tier points are removed and credited to the previous year. A few people have reported that sometimes they seem to make a mistake and forget to remove them.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I'm in a similar position, but currently silver going for gold. I'll get the last 280tps I need within 2 weeks of my current tier point year ending 8th August. My total TPs by 19th August will be 1560tps. Do I need to call BAEC before this date or only once the TPs have posted? In your experience, did the upgrade to the next tier give you two years or only one?

Thank you 🙏🏽

You only need to call after you've earned the tier points. As your tier points are being credited to the tier point collection year that ends on the 8th of the month the extension works as if you have earned the tier points before the 8th of the month of the end of your collection year, so one year. If you want two years you need to earn the entire 1500 tier points after the 8th.

A made up rule or a genuine policy?
