The more I read the more I become confused. Maybe someone can enlighten me on my situation.
Memerbership: Gold
Membership ends: 8th July 20
Tier Points: 1280
Does the threshold of 1125 TP apply to my current memebership year meaning that I qualify for Gold membership until 8th July 2021?
If yes, do I benefit from exetension of one year until 8th July 2022?
Or am I a "July loser" meaning that I missed Gold shortly and get the extension now until 8th July 21?
Thanks in advance.

However, to renew Gold to July 2022, you will need to earn 1,125 TPs between 8 July 20 and 8 July 21.

I'm happy with this policy, especially for the CCR card part since I had very few chances to use it.
Now that things are clear, I can start again to plan for the next year.
I'm also curious to see if the 6 month extension to GUFs will be added to the previous one or not.

Raffles is reporting on HfP that anyone who currently meets the reduced TP thresholds off 225 for Bronze or 450 TP for Silver or 1,125TP for Gold will immediately get upgraded to that new level. It will take BAEC the next couple of weeks to reflect the change in status on your account.

Does this mean I am now extended another year, so have Gold confirmed until 2022?

You are not getting an "extra" year, you are just having your current status extended in to the next collection year.

Basically, those members with the lowest current TPs but a reasonably high status level will benefit the most from this which seems somewhat counter-intuitive.

So I get my GGL status extended for 1 year, but no GUF’s for this year and next year only 25% discount applies only on status, not on GUF’s.
Why should I celebrate?

I'm a tad confused. Maybe someone can clarify what this means to my situation.
My TP year ends 8 Jul. I was upgraded to Gold last month after I contacted Exec Club explaining that my then already cancelled flights would have had me move Silver to Gold mid June.
Today I received the email stating I would get a 12 month extension, so does that mean I'll keep Gold until Jul 22? There seems to be discussion on here debating whether that if you've achieved the required TP's you may not receive the extension?🤔
