Tier Point Expiry

Hi
I apologise if this question has been asked before. My tier points are due to expire beginning of August 2018 with card expiring 30th September. I have a Club class flight booked for 6th September to NYC plus other flights later in the year. What are the possibilities BA would extend the 8th August deadline? Thank you in advance.

So your TP year ends on 8th August. BA will allow TPs earned in the following 2 weeks to be credited to the previous year. I have never heard of any extension longer than that.

So your flight on Sep 6th will credit to your new TP year.

A 2 week extension is routinely given on request.

As you want a month, I guess you can ask nicely and hope. BA staff have been encouraged to use discretion recently so you never know.

Might a request be dependent on what colour status you currently hold? i.e. if already gold they may be more willing to allow you to keep it for another 12 months then if you're only a lowly bronze.

Only for the purpose of renewing status though, not for any other reason including getting GUFs or convenience.

What the OP is asking for is not possible and there is no point asking BA - they won't allow TPs from nearly a month post anniversary date to be credited to the previous year for any reason.

The two week extension is for renewing or achieving status.

Will a GUF apply for a flight departing on the last day (8th) and posting a few days later?

Yes. It does not matter when it posts, it only matters when if the flight occurred the 8th or earlier.
