Yes, you can spend your vouchers for travel up until September 2023, but possibility to request the FTV will end in September 2022.

Nothing here, but more chance of a £1000000000000 win on tonight's Euromillions draw and becoming Emperor of the Known Universe before that happens.

Would you be happier if BA had said that everyone has had their status protected for at least two years, regardless of how much travel they managed to do during the height of the pandemic? And would you have been happy with the fairness and logic of such an approach? In the end, that is broadly how it's worked out, isn't it?However, even on this view you will still have had nine months in which to earn 75% of the normal number of TPs. That has a certain symmetry and logic to it.

It just so happens that, for whatever reason, you have a particular personal pattern of annual TP earning that depends heavily on a period that falls outside that nine months. But that effect on you personally is no more arbitrary or illogical than the effect of these decisions on (say) someone whose main travel destination is Hong Kong.

If it really mattered to either you or the hypothetical comparator, then even on this view there were nine months in which to choose to pay BA some money to fly at different times and/or to different places from usual, in order to retain status. Instead, both you and the hypothetical comparator have chosen to hang on to your money despite the fact that there are now plenty of places to fly to with reasonable ease.

Yes. And (slight) Agh. Nice to get an extension, but had booked travel already which gets me to 2,000 TPs with 3 trips (2 done already) so renewing GGL was easily doable and was looking at GUF1 at 2,500.

Does avoid messing around with timing of BA Holidays double TPs posting though. And I don’t have to worry as much about cash vs. Avios bookings for any weekends away (£££ vs hassle if I need to do a TP run late in the year etc.)

2023 is going to be a crazy burn year now!

I wonder how much of this is a reaction to their operational meltdowns recently.

Still no email for me, however my card expiry now shows Sep ‘23.

Aaaand relax………

Sorry if this has been asked somewhere upthread, did a quick search but did not see it. Is it true that to achieve GGL (independent on when your TP collection year ends) only 2250 TP is needed this year instead of the 25% reduction (3750TP)?

2250 to retain GGL if earned before Dec 31st, and currently GGL

3750 to attain GGL, if earned before Dec 31st and not currently GGL.

I seem to have lucked out, somehow been gold for the last 3 years and will be until October 2023 having flown 2 BA shorthaul flights in Y with a longhual W return booked for next Month, since July 2019. Great to have it, but I can see how people are saying this is unfair to those travelling, in no way have I deserved these extensions. However on the flip side, if I am not flying much with them anyway, it makes no difference what level member I am really.

This makes me happy. I've been following your story for a while and could feel your pain

I now have had the email and the 2023 extension showing on my account. Excellent.

Another data point. I’m an August year end and have just under 2,000 TPs, I’m likely to end the year on somewhere around 2,900 and have been contemplating my first ever tier points run to get to GGL. Yesterday the App was showing a card expiry date of Sep 2022, today it’s changed to Sep 2023, no email from BA.
