Changing BAEC renewal date.
My renewal date is 8th May. My wife’s renewal is 8th Feb. I am Gold she is Silver. I have maintained gold as of last week.
it is possible for me to in effect finish my year early and change my renewal date to Feb? So that we are in sync?

Afraid not. The only way would be to close one account and then open a new one at just the right time, but that would lose all Avios and TPs in the account.
Of course having staggered membership years does have some advantages.

It can be annoying. We travelled together on my way to gold and I got it but she didn't. Despite amassing the same number of points in less than 12 months, her's were split over 2 TP years.

Opening a new account at same address is probably a no-no, but I guess another address could be used instead....
So I think there could be creative ways to align the dates but would be some administration and impact.

If you always travel together, the best arrangement is to have your year end date 6 months apart. Lounges, baggage allowance, the First Wing, seat selection, fast track, premium check-in is all guest-able so by having a 6 month gap you can be more creative over time, for example if you need to take a break from travel for a while. Having the same date is actually the worst option.
