Hubby was upgraded from Bronze to Silver a few weeks ago, and today he got the email saying he received the one year extension (April 2021 to April 2022). Not yet reflected on the app or website thought.

I'm confused and judging by the number of questions on this thread I am not alone.
I'm Silver at the moment having reached 600 TP Nov 2018. My Tier point collection year ends 8th August 2020. I currently have 1200 TP so prior to this announcement was expecting to renew Silver through to Sept 21.
If I am currently over the new reduced Tierpoint threshold will I now get Gold, and if so from when to when; Or do I just get Silver extended through to Sep 22?

I can't work out if BA is stuffing its March-June year-enders based on this, as it's kind of inconsistent...

This year it was my son's turn to have my Gold partner card. His year-end is April, so in early May I nominated him for Gold, which came through almost immediately with validity until April 30th 2022. He has just now received the email saying his Gold status will be extended for a year (i.e. until April 2023). To say he is cock-a-hoop would be a gross understatement. I think he could finally be weaned off low cost carriers!
Still haven't received my email though ....

Excellent news as far as I'm concerned. I re-qualified for GGL / CCR with a year end of March 8th 2020 and haven't set foot on a plane since. Both GGL and CCR have been extended to the end of April 2022 and, in my tier point collection year from March 9th 2021 onwards, I only need 3750 tier points to renew again in March 2022. Can't complain at that at all, well done BA.

If he gets a soft landing he will have lounge status until 2024!
