Nor sure I do. BAEC members that have already paid for and earned their status probably had a view to be using it now and over the months ahead. But as we know they're currently unable to make use of that membership or even to make moves towards a higher tier. Who knows how many more months it'll be before they can get back to making use of what has already been earned so why wouldn't they expect to benefit from the extension promised by BA in that good news email?

Card expiry of 8th July, but no extension(?)
I'm confused about what I should expect...
My collection year ends 8 July, and I'm currently Silver from last year, but only 445 TPs this year.
I haven't received an email offering any extension, and both ba.com and my app both still have an collection year end of 08 July 2020 and a card expiry date of 31 Aug 2020 (as normal).
Should I expect just to get a renewal anyway, or am I just out of luck?

Reduced threshold applies this year or next??
Very confused. I am currently Silver with year ending 8 October 2020. I have collected 1140 TPs this year, so above the reduced Gold threshold. No update on my account though. Will I eventually be upgraded to Gold or does the reduced threshold only apply next year (Oct 2020 - Oct 2021) and not this year?

Anyone else not had their EC status extended by a year?
I got the BAEC email a while back saying that the extension will be applied to all accounts within the next few days. My year expiry is Dec 2020 and it's still showing the same date. Just wondering whether others are seeing the same?

This should be merged with the giant thread on the same issue.

my understanding is lower thresholds are for everyone. @KARFA is that correct?

Now I am totally confused. I haven't read this thread foe 2 days and the whole world has exploded. I have read HFP but am still not sure.
I re-qualified for Gold March 8th thanks to the reduced threshold on 1480TPS so have this until April 2021 or is it April 2022? If it is only 21 is the only benefit I get for this year the reduced threshold?
TIA, this has probably been answered many times.

the reduced threshold will count towards your current year. I don’t know what you plan to earn from 9 March 2020 to 8 March 2021, but even if you don’t meet the reduced threshold by 8 March 2021 your gold status will be extended to 30 April 2022.
between 9 March 2021 and 8 March 2022 you will need to earn 1125 if you want to remain a gold in your 9 March 2022 - 8 March 2023 membership year.
