Do do you think the change will be immediate or with decent lead time?

Also, they would likely need time to implement on their side. But again, that is just me speculating...

Interesting point. I would imagine to shield themselves from lawsuits, there would be some lead time involved, similarly from when 2*3000 Points was removed as GGL qualification etc. Imagine otherwise if you bought 100k Avios a few days/weeks before.

When they changed the GGL 2*3000 criteria it was 26 Nov 2014, and you had until April 8th 2015 to qualify under old rules, so that means 4 months and change...

well at least 4 months notice would give me time to renew GGL - should be at 2635 TPs by mid-June. Vanilla ex-EU with one of the positioning flights paid for should do it...

I am a little worried about the possibility of TP changes. My TP run/mini PHX Do in August gives me renewal of my GGL plus my GFL.
Looks like a slim possibility of both going out of the window.

So.... now.... GGL is all very well but GFL is a fundamentally separate and more important issue.
I'm maybe a year away from GFL and, while I can cope with any GGL changes, any changes to GFL will probably end up with a sit-down protest outside BA towers, as my GFL has been 17 years in the making and, based on so many of my old weekly 80 TP returns to Moscow in CE at £1700 each (yes, before it became Longhaul), it's probably cost the best part of £500k to get to 33500 lifetime TPs...

(anyway, a MEX trip and a JNB/CPT open-jaw booked for now in case of devaluation..)
