If I UUA from Cash WTP to CW do I receive CW or WTP Avios/TP's?

If my Tier point collection year ends 8 Jan 2021 and Card expiry 28 Feb 2021, am I accumulating TP for my new collection year after the 8th Jan? If so, how does it work in terms of the dates? Say I travel 6 - 9th Jan, do I get TP for the new membership year for both legs based on the return leg or only the inbound and not outbound?
Looking at Istanbul and at 190 pounds on J return, seems worth a shot... If it gets worse there's always the voucher I guess!

Thanks! Is that something that is surely possible or if I call in to BA it's something that may or may not work? (i.e not definite)

it's definitely something you can do. You will have to wait until you've flown and then call the BAEC to request it. Do it as soon as they post.

Jut to be clear, the 2 week extension allows you to credit flights in the two week period after 9 Jan to your previous membership year if it means those flights in that two week period help hit a status threshold. so if you are say 50 TPs short of silver by 8 Jan, but you are due 80 TP on 13 Jan you can use the extension. You can't get the extension for any other reason.

But also consider that your TP counter will reset to 0 on 9 Jan so you will still need to earn 450TP in your new year to get Silver. If you delay your trip to 9 Jan or after you will have 160TP towards both Bronze and then Silver status.

Well in your case if you did the return trip LHR-IST-LHR in Club Europe you would earn 160TP which when added to your existing 100TP would give you 260TP. With the reduced TP thresholds you would be promoted to Bronze status (requires 225TP) so the 2 week extension would apply. It is also allowed if it means you retains status e.g. you are already Bronze and the extension would give you enough to retain it.
But also consider that your TP counter will reset to 0 on 9 Jan so you will still need to earn 450TP in your new year to get Silver. If you delay your trip to 9 Jan or after you will have 160TP towards both Bronze and then Silver status.

Hello,
Does anyone know what happens if you requalify for Gold after the BA free extension. Would the card extend another year or just keep the same already extended year end? Only 20TP short so debating a quick run if there would be a benefit.
thanks

Issues getting Avios for QR flights
I submitted an Avios claim for my flights on QR, flown on Sept 12.
BA responded saying that the mileage has already been credited to another program. But i triple checked my booking and I have my BA number on it and I still have all the boarding passes and they all show BA's EC number on them.
What are the options from here? call BA? call QR? I feel like it's gonna be a long journey...
The tickets were discounted Biz class tickets so I'd still want to have those credited, it's not just a couple hundreds of them. (ZRH-DOH-MLE return).
