Tier Points just before Collection Year Ends
I have seen lots of threads about people having a few days leeway, so they can get their tier points included in the previous year, plus a question about someone trying to get tier points for 'months' deferred into the next tier year, mine is a combination of the two..
I am flying on 7th Sept, tier year ends on the 8th Sept and I'll already have gold, so would like (if possible) to defer the 210 tier points I'll be getting on the 7th into the new year, to give me a good chance of retaining gold next year too.
I have seen people say they have gotten tier points brough back to the previous year, but not added to the following, so wanted to see if anyone has managed it, given it's only a day, but will make a good chunk of my tier points for 2019/2020 year
Cheers

Can't think of a worst anticlimax / disappointment. A couple of years ago I was in a similar situation, travelling on the last day of collection year and received the points in the new collection year, was so happy, only to then see them reversed out...heartbreaking

But we have always been happy, from our working days, to shift any ‘feast days’ to suit practicality.

I have a question along these lines whereby I am currently silver and my tier point collection year ends on 07 October however my card says it expires on 30 November. I will go back to bronze but I just wanted to clarify that with my membership card valid till 30 November that my Silver benefits remain until this date? Can someone also clarify that the boarding cards remain silver between 07 October and 30 November in order to get lounge access and guesting privileges in one world lounges? I realise this probably won’t be an issue in a BA lounge but my concern is using other one world lounges such as Qantas and Cathay Pacific in T3. Thanks for any info.

however there is no leniency or policy to allow crediting flight prior to year end to the next membership year - and this is what the OP is asking about.
