b) The booking must contain British Airways flights including codeshares and British Airways marketed and/or operated flights only.

Flights offered as part of a British Airways Holidays package that are provided by other airline partners that do not have a BA flight number will not be eligible. Please note: Flights marketed by British Airways with or without a BA flight number that are operated by Aer Lingus, China Southern or LATAM are not eligible for Tier Points.

f) Bookings can only contain one flight departing the UK, multiple journeys from the UK within one booking will not qualify.
g) The participant must register their British Airways Executive Club number against their booking prior to travel.
2. For the avoidance of doubt this offer does not apply to any British Airways flight only bookings made without a hotel or car or where the hotel or car is added to a booking in a separate transaction.
3. This promotion enables Eligible Participants to receive double Tier Points for all qualifying flights which are part of a Qualifying Booking. British Airways Executive Club Terms and Conditions and the Executive Club Conditions of Use will apply.
4. Standard Tier Points for the flight elements will be awarded in line with regular awarding timelines after completion of the flight returning to the UK which is part of a Qualifying Booking.

5. The additional Tier Points covered by this promotion are non-transferable and there is no cash or credit alternative. British Airways does not accept any liability in the event that the double Tier Points received as a result of this promotion expire. Tier Points expire at the end of each membership year – the anniversary of when you joined the Club.

12. This promotion will be governed by English law and is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
13. The promoter is British Airways Plc, Waterside, PO Box 365, Harmondsworth, UB7 0GB. Registered No 1777777.
There's mixed reports, as of August 2022 there seems to be a new system where automation is getting tier points added more quickly, previously manual intervention and chasing BA was needed to get the bonus TPs. As of May 2023, when the automated crediting works, it appears to happen 2-3 weeks after the holiday concludes, on a Wednesday. When the promotion started some people found the points posted without having to do anything. Most people are using the email address above or calling BA phone lines.
2. I’ve waited for a very long time and the points have not posted. What can I do?
See the start of the wiki use the email indicated. Some people have found success by phoning their dedicated exec club number and asking.
3. Do I have to wait 30 or 60 days to ask for the bonus Tier Points (TPs)?
Now 14 working days after return. There’s mixed opinions on the board from those who have been waiting a long time. If the bonus TPs will upgrade your status then we suggest you ask for them as soon as you can.
4. The offer says the bonus tier points post with the same dates as the original flights but mine posted on the date I got the email. Why is this and can I change it?
The offer says that the bonus points should post on the dates of the original flights but very few are; normally they are posting on the date the bonus TPs are processed. If that affects you negatively then you should ask for them to be changed (email or phone). On the other hand some people are quite happy with them posting later, there’s no sign of BA changing dates retrospectively. Again, if you benefit from the posting date, the FT custom is to thank the BA IT dept. for their coding competence in silence.
5. Does the offer work just for the person booking /paying or for all passengers?
It works for all passengers on the same booking. Some people have had BA claim only the booker gets the bonus TPs. This has been happening to a number of posters recently and is not in accordance with the offer terms. If this happens to you, complain.
6. Does the 5 night qualification include nights on the plane? So if I book night flights both ways can I just stay 3 nights in a hotel and qualify?
It appears you have to have 5 hotel nights or five nights car hire in the booking: a night flight doesn’t count but if it’s all booked at one time then you can stay in multiple hotels (split stay)
7. Is there any limit to the number of bonus tier points I can get from the promotion?
Apparently not, there are some posters who already have had thousands of bonus tier points; depends on the depth of your wallet and availability of holidays.
8. Can I get upgraded status by using bonus Tier Points?
Yes, a number of posters have done this, not just getting to silver but to gold and beyond and at least 3 people have got GGL as a result of the offer
9. Do multi-stop tickets work?
Yes, a number of posters have had success – all the flights should have BA codeshare numbers but do not need to be on BA metal. Some posters have earned more than 1000 TPs in total for multi-stop trips they have taken.
10. What if my flight is disrupted / cancelled?
If your flights are changed at the last moment BA Holidays normally will reroute you. At least one poster has had BA change some of their flights to a non codeshare flight and still got the bonus TPs. It’s thought that you might get the bonus TPs but there’s no definite confirmation of this.
11. Do reduced TP earning thresholds for status levels apply to bonus TP earning?
Yes, up until the end of the 2022.
12. Can I earn GUF (Gold Upgrade Vouchers) using the offer?
Yes, if you get over 2500 or 3500 TPs in total as normal.
13. What about using vouchers or Upgrade with Avios with the offer?
Redemption holidays (avios plus a combination hotel) don’t qualify. Using UUA or vouchers (for which you have to call BA Holidays to use)- it’s not clear, we would expect the revenue level of tier points to post along with matching tier points to post, should you do better than this the custom on FT is to count your blessings in silence.
14. Do bonus TPs count towards lifetime tier point totals?
Yes.
15. I booked a car hire for the trip to convert a flight to a qualifying holiday. Do I have to actually pick up the car to get the bonus TPs?
The answer seems to be... depends on when you made the booking! Check the T&Cs for dates, but for bookings made prior to 26 June 2023, no. There is at least one poster who has not picked up the car and got the double tier points - although, in that case, Avis had massive queues and the poster had to leave the airport. It's probably OK to do this but not 100% definite. Others are claiming a sudden onset of amnesia on their arrival around their car hire booking and still apparently were getting the bonus points.
16. What happens if I booked according to the offer but then my flights / other arrangements get changed by BA holidays due to cancellations?
When you book it's worth getting a hard copy of your receipt as evidence. This will show you are in accordance with the offer terms. If things get changed later by BAH you can apply to BA to get the original offer TPs bonus TPs and Avios. This has worked for one person at least but you may have to be persistent.

Shambles it may be but I think it is more likely now an active decision that they won’t post them unless asked because most people either won’t bother chasing them or don’t think the TPs would make any difference to their account anyway.
Edit: just seen the post below so there clearly are some posting correctly now (I still think from Jan to about June probably none did)- Congratulations ABZGirl!

Ours posted exactly thirty days after a trip last month, with no chasing at all, so hopefully a sign that things are speeding up re crediting.

Thanks! I admit, I had pencilled in time to chase after sixty days, assuming I'd need to from reading everyone's experiences here. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to claw that time back.
Fingers crossed others begin to see the same outcome now.

Are you sure? The thread has become quite unwieldy since I was last on it but I looked back a few pages and couldn’t see anyone who had TPs posted without chasing. Feel free to quote and prove me wrong though (I may well be) but I rather stand by the assertion I made in the Spring that nobody in 2022 has had the TPs post without intervening.
Shambles it may be but I think it is more likely now an active decision that they won’t post them unless asked because most people either won’t bother chasing them or don’t think the TPs would make any difference to their account anyway.

My double tier points posted today without any chasing for a trip which finished 19th June. Hope that is indicative of BA finally getting to grips with this promo for everyone!

not complaining, they’re weren’t expected but could end up pushing me into 2xGUF1 territory with a very small nudge!

they might be way back in your statement, this happened to me yesterday, the entry is marked August 19 but is located in the July portion of the statement where the original flights happened.

I also received bonus TP yesterday for two trips that most certainly didn't meet the criteria (one was only three nights and the other only had a single night hotel stay) I suspect they've attempted to batch process/automate the backlog to relieve one headache and in the process created themselves another. Not that we'd expect any less from BA IT.

Just to add to the reference points, my OH's bonus points posted yesterday (after the 60 day chase) but mine only posted today (and I could see my balance update on the website, but the posting took a while to show in my statement), so it seems like there is a delay in posting all parties extra TP's at the moment, so perhaps give it a day or 2 before chasing.

Double tier points arrived here today, and for a friend as well. Seems they’ve batch automated it.

Someone high up has perhaps realised that the delays in the offer are annoying the very people (high spending BAH leisure travellers) that will be needed to fill the revenue gap left by reduced business travel.
