Membership Year Reset

Hi FT

I read through the Wiki and didn't see the answer, so please don't be too angry with me for asking...

I just recently attained Silver and my Membership year ends tomorrow (Jan 8th). Will I be Silver for a year or will I reset to Bronze? I have 825 TP, and 4 eligible flights.

You will remain Silver for the whole of the next membership year and until the card expiry date after that - which will be 28 February 2017.

If you just attained silver in your current membership year that ends 8JAN16 you will be silver through the next membership year that ends 8JAN17 (actually you will be silver through your card expiration date which should be 28FEB17).
See the examples and graphs in this post in the Guide:

Thanks for the quick replies!

jerry- the charts on the wiki left me somewhat confused because it seemed that the first chart implied you only kept Silver because they continued to earn after they attained. I understand now and appreciate the assistance!

If my "Tier Point collection year ends 8 Jan", would tier points from flights showing a date of 8 Jan count towards the new year or the old one?

All flights that depart on the 8th count towards current year. Flights from 9th count towards new year. At first they may show in your account as added in the new year but then will be adjusted back to the old year.

Hi,

I'm sure this has been answered before, but I have 0 TP this year but starting a new job and also have a trip for my vacation this summer which starts on the last day of my membership year
It's a mid haul and long haul in J/I, so 220 TP. Has anyone ever been successful in moving their year?
I would get another 180 TP just a month later, so I would be off to a good start.

Alternatively I could just credit to Alaska.

They will not change your membership year date.

Notoriously membership years don't get changed.

But since you say "trip", it might be worth pointing out that each *flight* credits on the day it begins (local time at departure airport). So the return flights (and possibly the second outbound flight, if it's the next calendar day) will credit in your next year, even though the trip began in this one.
