I had 1050 tier points as of 21st December. Decided that as i was so close to gold (due to reduction) to book a tier point run last minute.
Flew LHR-MAN-LHR in club 30th Dec. Yielded 80 Tier pints. They were posted 2nd Jan and immediately showed my upgraded status to gold - 1130 total.
Membership year ends Jun 2024 and now states that I need 370 points to retain Gold.
Does that mean i just need 370 points before this years membership year end (May) to keep gold into 2025??

There is no need to take any screenshot of anything anyway. That’s just a bit silly the office can see the history of all credit and debits for multiple years, so if there is an issue, a screenshot won’t change a thing to how it is resolved. It’s just a waste of computer memory space…

I don't think anyone ever suggested that BA IT is reliable (and if you meant me, you can check my comment on the thread on the 1 January IT bug), but do you seriously think a screenshot will resolve those members' problem?

Mine has not been updated yet, so rather than freak out, I'll assume that this is an ongoing process, which will take a few days (unless noone else still has the old dates at that stage?) I have updated the Wiki to suggest that the process now seems ongoing and we will update in a few days when it seems complete, but please feel free to keep mentioning your (positive or negative) experience!

Apologies to be slow but my tier points collection year ends in Feb 2023. To retain gold status the BA app says I need to have 1500 tier points by then. Am I right in thinking that if I earn 1125 tier points by 31 December 2022 I will qualify for gold status due to the 25% tier point reduction this year?
Edit - sorry have just seen previous posts. Will be patient!

Mine is pretty clear cut, GGL currently, close to 2,500 TPS earned before 31 December 2022, with an 8 July 2023 membership year end and card still showing 31 August 2023 expiry in the app and on ba.com
Will update when it changes.
