FAQ : BAEC : status extensions & Tier Point (re)qualification thresholds reduced
Wow!
Coronavirus: How the Executive Club is supporting you
We’re adding 12 months extra onto your Executive Club membership – so you have more time to enjoy your benefits, whenever you’re ready to fly.All members will benefit, starting with those who have a Tier Point collection end date of July 2020, through to June 2021.
What’s more, it will be even easier to retain your status next time you’re up for renewal, as we’ve decreased the amount of Tier Points needed by 25%. This is the same for upgrades thresholds too, making that next Tier more achievable.
This results in lower Tier qualification thresholds, as shown below:
- Bronze: 225 Tier Points or 18 eligible flights
- Silver: 450 Tier Points or 37 eligible flights
- Gold: 1125 Tier Points

It seems to me that BA did what was necessary as soon as it became clear that the restrictions on flying and the limited opportunity to attain and make use of status were going to be with us for a significant time to come.

So I finished last week on 755 - and my card says Gold until 31 Jul 2020
Will I get a bonus year of silver (urgh) or am I being retained at Gold ?!

*Members whose Tier Point collection end date was in May or June 2020, who did not meet the reduced qualification requirement for their Tier will have the 12-month extension applied to their new Tier once their current card expiry date has passed.

Just had an email from BAEC to say my silver status (August end date) has been renewed for 12 months. Considering I haven't earned any TP this year, and had several trips cancelled in recent months, I can't complain about that.

It seems to me that BA realised is the only airline that has not offer a status extension and that loyal customers might be a bit unhappy and dissapointed. Even Air Koryo has offered an extension

I'm guessing, unfortunately, as you didn't meet the reduced tier point requirements to retain Gold, you will be getting a bonus year of Silver.
