This promotion is only open to Eligible Participants.

By taking part in this promotion, Eligible Participants confirm that they unconditionally accept the Terms and Conditions set out below.
1. A “Qualifying Booking” is a British Airways Holidays booking that meets all of the following criteria:
a) The booking must be for a British Airways Holidays Flights + Hotel or Flights + Car or Flights + Hotel + Car package booking originating in the UK only.
b) The booking must contain British Airways flights including codeshares and British Airways marketed and/or operated flights only. Flights not meeting these criteria within the booking won’t be awarded Tier Points. 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.
c) The hotel/car element of the package must be for a minimum of five nights within the flight travel dates for travel before 31 December 2024.

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. The initial transaction will be updated when the additional Tier Points due as a result of this promotion are added to the standard Tier Points, within 14 working days of the return flight 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.

6. All holiday packages are offered subject to availability.
7. British Airways Holidays booking Terms and Conditions apply.

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.

Having tried for many weeks multiple methods of contact regarding missing Double Tier Points yesterday I used the email address noted by BAECAddict, [email protected]and within 4 hours I had an email response and the Tier Points credited!
Update: Finally got the double TPs. Appears it was the final call to Gold Line and what seems like a new, specific email address to resolve TP issues that did it.

Still cant believe this is so difficult. Im not looking forward to having to chase mine this year to get gold, and also I'll end up having to chase 3 other family members for them to reach bronze, silver and gold - its crazy, but im not going to give up as we paid our money and its their offer.
One other family member who wont get to any status I wont be chasing but will be interested to see if they get the double TP without any action.

Just want to update you all on our tier points, we chased ours, and in the end it appeared that twitter was the successful way. Around a week after contacting them, they said they would pass it on and I believe that’s what finally got me my elusive tier points.

Thanks to every single suggestion here, finally received our double TPs from End March. Husband sent a Twitter message a couple of hours ago, and TPs credited a couple of hours later. Could be a coincidence, but seems unlikely as my 3 emails to various suggested emails have gone unanswered (first sent mid May). Now, 5 months to get 365 points to renew gold, but think we'll skip the BA holiday route

Tier points finally posted
I have been chasing points using all email addresses suggested on this forum and other point websites for 2 holidays - one end 2021 and the other Easter this year.
A couple of of weeks ago, I decided to make one final attempt at claiming my missing points. I sent an email to BAH Duty Office on a Sunday. Having pressed send I thought that maybe a weekend wasn’t such a good idea because they were likely to be inundated with emails. I nearly fell off my chair when I received a personalised email from BAEC the very next day apologising for the delay. Points for both holidays posted later that day.
I then nearly fell off my chair for a second time when I received a satisfaction survey to complete. I made it crystal clear that the system for awarding double tier points was broken; that were many disgruntled customers; and that something needed to be done immediately to identify a clear route for frequent flyers to claim missing points.

Still waiting for my bonus from March. Two emails and a letter but no action. Really hacked off.

Still no TP on my account. Called few weeks ago and the agent said the case was open and I should get my TP "soon". Used the web chat today and the agent took the details and said that 7-10 days and I should get the double TP.
Guess I'm one of the unlucky ones that need to chase over and over and over?

I'm on web chat to BA (per the above idea). I travelled over 60 days ago with my travel companion (all of whose details I have provided) on the same booking reference. I booked the ticket. After waiting half and hour to get through by web chat they will forward my claim for double tier points, but not that of my travel companion (who is sitting right next to me willing to answer any data protection questions) because of "data protection". Instead, she must start a new web chat, wasting another 30 minutes of time. Anyone would think they are trying to make it as hard as possible to claim under the BAH Double Tier Points offer.

BA Holiday 14th -28th May and got reply from BA saying this TP has been added and I have been upgraded from Bronze to Silver due to it.
Interesting thing is my holiday ended 28th May and my tier points year ended 8th June, but it now says my card expiry ends 31st July 2024. Does that mean I am slver until then ? if so it looks like i have 23 months instead of 12 and I would presume that is because BA just put me to silver a few weeks after my new tier year started rather than when my holiday ended.
Am I correct ?
