Just to clarify, GGLs are included in this. Although they have not stated the numbers for GGl & CCR card on the FAQs site, they have said in the email the 25% reduction would apply:
So this would mean:
Bronze: 225 Tier Points or 18 eligible flights
Silver: 450 Tier Points or 37 eligible flights
Gold: 1125 Tier Points
GGL (renewal): 2625
GGL (first time): 3750
CCR card: 3750
So this would mean:
Bronze: 225 Tier Points or 18 eligible flights
Silver: 450 Tier Points or 37 eligible flights
Gold: 1125 Tier Points
GGL (renewal): 2625
GGL (first time): 3750
CCR card: 3750
I got the email with the 25% reduction wording for my GGL renewal, but if it's 3,750 to get CCR card, I might try for that next year.

Really frustrated. My silver membership expired end of May, all my usual BA qualifying flights are in Q1 of each year due to work cycles (obviously not this year). So now I am bronze for 2 years....
Thanks but no thanks BA, looks like I will not be flying BA again.

I think CCR is not clear as the FAQ states with regards to upgrade vouchers (which are arguably a similar 'other membership benefit' to CCR):
I am close to earning a Gold Upgrade Voucher. Does the 25% Tier Point reduction apply to earning vouchers or other membership benefits?We’ve decreased the amount of Tier Points needed by 25% to make it easier for members to retain or upgrade their membership. This reduced Tier Point requirement doesn’t apply to earning Gold Upgrade Vouchers or other membership benefits.

I'm a bit confused. I renew in October 2020, and had already reached the requirements for Gold (so I should have had Gold until 2021). Does this mean the extension is pointless for me, or that I now have it until October 2022?
On my account, it still says my card expires in October 2020 and "You have retained Gold". Has anyone had an answer direct from BA on this?

Trying to understand.
I requalified the hard way earning my 1500TPs. My collection end date is now May 2021.
I understand that my Gold status will be extended till May 2022.
What about the flights that I take this July? Will they be "useless" for qualification? Will they count for qualification in 2022?
