A quick question if I may. Am currently Silver. If tier Point collection ends on September 8, 2022 but the card expiry date is shown as 31 October 2022, is it the latter date that determines lounge access etc. etc and not the actual tier collection expiry date? I presume so but would welcome confirmation.
Many thanks in advance

Hi guys,
I am currently on a run to achieve the Gold tier for the first time and currently I have the silver card which says that expire on 31.1.2024. My tier points year ends on December 8th and I have planned trip on mid-October which will get me the missing TP for the Gold tier. I wanted to ask what will be the card expire date then? It will still be 31.1.2024 or it will be a different date?

My current Gold Card expiry date is on 31 Jul 2024 and the tier points collection year ends on 8 Jun 2023. Does it mean regardless if I have meet the gold renewal requirements, I will still get another year of Gold next year? What if I do get enough tier points by 8 Jun 2023? Do I get an extra year? Thank you!

I am travelling return LHR to Melbourne on Malaysia Airlines via KL I have worked out the Avios & Tier Points I will earn (I hope correctly) on the 4 flights & the Tier Points should be 600 which I assumed would take me to Silver but I believe you also need two qualifying flights along with the required Tier Points to do so. As my flights will be with a partner airline and have MH codes will I actually qualify for Silver ? I cant seem to find the info on the BA site. Help appreciated please.

- BA operated OR BA marketed (the flight doesn't need to be both in this case, so a BA codeshare operated by EI would be fine)
- IB operated ANDmarketed
So until you do the 4 qualifying flights you won't go up to silver I am afraid.

Thank you, I really must start using all the Avios I have already! Its actually Bronze not Silver I was thinking off so I think I would probably need just the 2 BA flights for that, which would be easily doable?

I have an old Avios account with a negligible amount of lifetime TP and Avios in it (89!) because I drained it a while back. Current expiry month is June. I have 2 trips in December & March coming up that will put me at Silver.
Can I just create a new Avios account in early December and thus extend my status by more than half a year and just use the new number/account going forward? Do I need to close my old account somehow first, otherwise BA will get upset?

They have made changes though how the partnership works. Now you have to book through their BA shopping portal.

I received notice that my Avios will expire in 12 months. I understand that to preserve them I need to either spend some or earn more. Question: if I spend by flying do I need to fly within the 12 months or can I book within the 12 months for a flight that goes after the 12 months?
Thanks …
