I had my reply from an email I sent yesterday to the GGL team regarding why we didnt get an email.
Just an IT glitch it was and confirmed we are GGL till 2022.
As CWS quite rightly stated April May and June are definetely included. , as normal, CWS is correct .
I normally like being right, but am very glad not on this occasion!
Other websites and bloggers are usually behind the curve and FT is the place to be for key info.
SoBA FT is the source to use!

Since GGL is being treated as a tier, first time qualification would be at 3750TP. What about the CCR as this is a benefit and not a Tier? I assume that stays at 5000TP

Either I am slow this morning or the terms of how this is going to work out are not very clear. I re qualified for Gold this year, My Tier Point collection year ended in 08 June 2020, my TP have been reset to 0 already (Tier Point collection year ends now shows 08 July 2021) and my Card expiry date currently shows 31 Jul 2020.
Anyone on a similar situation?

- extra time? No, it's been established that the "extra time" runs concurrently with your already earned year.
- lower target? No, you'd still need to get 3K for your GGL renewal by 08 July 21
That really would be grim
(Not even in terms of others year ends doing better, but I don't see that you'd actually get anything if it is that bad)

So, status is extended once by 12 months and all ongoing TP thresholds reduced by 25% except for GUF‘s.

There is an old saying:
This thread proves that proverb.
Me... I'm Silver, currently with 430 points, with an August expiry - most of my travelling is usually in Q2 (400 points of cancelled travel, with another 600+ points worth unbooked).
... in mid-February, I was hopeful of achieving Gold this year.
... by mid-March, I was pessimistic of renewing Silver!
I'll take the extension, with appreciation, and look to the lower re-qualification levels with interest: Gold for 2021/2 looks in reach on current plans.
You can please some of the people, all of the time;

As in you could show them to BAEC who would allow you to count them towards those who had reduced thresholds April/May/June 2020 year ends. You don't actually get the TPs. It was widely discussed in the previous TP thread COVID-19 - TP reduction requirement for re-qualification [currently to June year end]

I think everyone is agreed it will apply to the current year, but is it that only?
(I'm afraid I'm in the seething massed ranks of common or garden Gold, so only have access to the webform, it seems the GGL team is generally faster and better informed?)

As Mike P states the CCR is indeed 3750.
Whether you received an email or not as the case may be.

That was what prompted my "unpleasant thought", in that if it is July 20, then what do you get as an "already qualified July"
- extra time? No, it's been established that the "extra time" runs concurrently with your already earned year.
- lower target? No, you'd still need to get 3K for your GGL renewal by 08 July 21
That really would be grim

You have almost a year's respite from your spreadsheet, and potentially a lower target next year. I think that is the simple versin.

Something like this maybe to make it easier for us all to understand.
