I think BA created the complication themselves, by having different start and end dates of members’ membership years.

So can we now confirm that the lower thresholds are for our current year?
So if we want to upgrade from Blue to Bronze or Bronze to Silver we now have to achieve the lower thresholds in the next few months?

I, based on experience always second guess any BA emails or notices as they often leave them open to interpretation.

As a July year-ender who has already re-qualified we/ I have been given a 25% discount on retaining gold before July 2021.
I can also understand why others find it complex as the headlines and lack of examples encourage ambiguity.

If you are eligible for a Tier upgrade under the reduced Tier Point or eligible flight requirement, there is no need to contact us. This will be processed automatically once the required number of Tier Points or flights have been credited to your account.
If you are eligible to renew your Tier under the reduced Tier Point or eligible flight requirement, there is no need to contact us. This will be processed automatically once your Tier Point collection year ends and you will receive an email from the Executive Club team to confirm this.
In addition, members will need to have flown a minimum number of British Airways or Iberia flights to qualify for the 25% Tier threshold reduction in order to upgrade, or subsequently renew their membership for the following year. This is 2 for Bronze membership, and 4 for Silver and Gold membership.

You - and everyone else who has earned, or will earn, enough TPs to renew their status - will not benefit from the year's extension, but you did get it.

Sure, but I don't have a 12 month extension.

Having just (May) renewed Gold, I have to say that my main (if not ONLY concern) is for the OH and I to able to resume our holiday travels!!
What happens with TPs and subsequent renewals is a case of que sera sera. 😎
