Apologies if answered before, my tier point collection ends October 20 and card expiry now November 21. I am a silver card holder and on 540 points, come October will my points be reset even if I attain 600 points or have i got till November 21 to collect as many points as possible?

All of these lovely extensions for lots of lucky forum members are beginning to remind me of that sinking feeling when waiting to be picked for the team at school. I already know I am going to be the bottom of the pile but I still have that distant hope that BAEC will take pity on me and the other July and August babies who couldn't benefit from lower thresholds

Minor data point from a March year ender...
Card expiry recently updated to Apr 2022 and now Tier Points to retain GGL reduced to 2250, so fair play BA - you have delivered on your promise.
I do wonder however what will happen if I accrue 0 TPs before Mar 9th 2021. I have a sneaking suspicion the IT will auto-downgrade me, even though in theory I should retain status. We shall see

What sort of soft landing for Gifted Gold after extension for a natural silver?
I'm a gifted Gold but a natural silver with a membership year end of September 2020. I've had the gifted gold status extended to end September 2021. However I have 650tp so pre COVID extensions would have had silver on my own tp earnings for 20/21 and then soft landed to Bronze for 21/22.
Now my understanding is that gifted Golds no longer get soft landings. So will BA IT be clever enough to move me from gifted extended Gold to Bronze in August 2021 or will it drop me to Blue - all assuming I don't earn the necessary tier points

Current year is Silver with 1140 tp’s with silver card extended last week to Sept 2021. Today account showing that I’ve achieved gold on the lower threshold but card is still silver with expiry still showing 2021. Does anyone know whether I'll get the 2022 extension?
