Status Extension
My first Gold card expires on 31 August, but my BAEC account shows my TP’s zeroed, but seemingly Gold until 8-7-24. Does this mean my status has been extended.

This is what you would expect if you surpassed 1500 tier points prior to 8th July. You would see your tier points set back to zero and your membership extended although it should be extended until 31st August 2024 not 8-7-24.
What were your tier points at 8th July?

They did tell me that I had taken my hundredth flight, but I doubt that would’ve made any difference.

8th July 2024 will be your tier point collection year end, and that would be correct.
Underneath that on the app is the more important date - card expiry. If that still says 2023 then you won’t have been extended.

Yes I did, as I was promoted for my first Gold experience. Last year I mostly took redemption flights.

I think that’s more likely, BA have been very generous to me, post Covid.

You will still be Gold until 31 August 2023 regardless. As @ThatT1Feeling says above what you need to see is the card expiry date change to 31 Aug 2024. Not sure you will see that happen until 1 Sep 2023.
Another thing to check is what it says on the app below the image of your Exec Club card regarding the number of TP to "Retain Gold". That said I think it still shows "Retain Gold" until 31 Aug 2023. If you haven't retained Gold it will change to Retain Silver on 1 Sep 2023.

I’ll have to ensure I book any flights before 31st of August, to keep my seats in the front row? 😉

You can normally check what your status is (or is going to be between TP years) fairly easily here: https://www.britishairways.com/trave...userType=agent (you do need to be logged in to see it)
It's a bit of a mishmash of different data but gives a fairly good historical perspective on the flights you took and the points earned.

I got enough Tier Points for Gold off the back of a BAH Double Points booking between my Tier Point Renewal Date at 09-Oct-22 and 30-Nov-22 when (after assorted Covid extensions) my previous Gold status was finally due to expire.
By my understanding, since the qualifying points (and 4 BA flight sectors) were earned in the current Collection Year this should mean that I have Gold until 30-Nov-24 however the App and the Website both show my Card Expiry as 30-Nov-23
Will BA's IT eventually add the extra Gold year that I believe i am due as it approaches and cycles through the upcoming TP Year anniversary or am I going to have to call up to have them fix this?
