BAEC members earn 3 Avios per £1 spent, with a minimum of 500 Avios per rental
Rent with Avis four times or more in one year and collect 1,000 bonus Avios

What’s the lag usually like between your tier point collection year ending and BA notifying your that you kept gold/silver etc? My collection year ended last week at 2200 points, but my card expiry date is still March 2020, not March 2021. Perhaps I’m being forgetful and that all happens in March.

Tier points posted but eligible flights missing
I have a problem with my status adjustment. My miles and tier points for the last flights I needed for Silver status just posted, however I says I only completed 3 out of 4 eligible flight. That’s not the case however, I took 4 Club Europe flights directly booked on BA.com in January and few more on IB and BA in (Premium Economy). Should I be patient and hope I still gets credited or contact BAEC, if so is the “claiming missing a avios/Tier points contact form the right way to do it? Thanks for your help!

claim miles after 6 months ?
I realize that a flight between HKG and FRA made on Cathay has not been validated on my British Airways account
It was performed on July 30, 2019
I exceeded the deadline of 6 months
Is there a chance to have a delay or is it not even worth asking?
Thank you

Did you have your Exec Club number printed on the Boarding Pass and do you still have it to be able to send in as proof of travelling? Also what class were you travelling in? The cheapest economy ticket (K,L,M,N,Q,S,V) will only earn you 20TP and 1,424 Avios which isn't the end of the world if you don't get anywhere. On the other hand a Business Class ticket (J,C,D,I) would earn 140TP and 7,121 Avios which is not to be sneezed at, likewise a First Class ticket (F or A) would earn 210TP and 8,546 Avios.

Does Oneworld Sapphire status make you eligible for upgraded seats on British Airways?

EDIT: just to add, if you meant can you select exit row seats then yes you can on short haul, but on long haul you would need to be OWE to do so.

The main "upgrade" is the ability to choose seats at booking without a fee. As Karfa points out this includes exit rows on short haul. The algorithm for upgrades is a deep secret but it is thought to be weighted towards exposing you to the temptation to pay more in future.

Hi all, a silly question on soft landing and upgrade afterwards.
My membership year for earning would end in 8 Jun, and with not enough flying due to a new born and the Coronavirus, it is likely that I’d be ending with Bronze in July. If I get to requalify Silver, say buy end-2020, how long would the new Silver status last? To end-2021 or just Jun 2021? Thanks for the help!

Remember you can also apply for an extension of your Silver status because of your newborn.
