New Avios and tier points system ?
I know next month Avios earning becomes fare based. But what is happening with tier points earning is that changing? Like most of you the new system is a big disappointment.

Sorry to hear we're a disappointment. Bit harsh.

Nothing is changing with tier point earning for the moment. Meanwhile I'm seeing changes such that a booking generating 48K avios will get about 6k under the new system. Every day that passes I thank the good folks at IAG for simplifying the system based on my feedback.

In the future, which of the following systems would be easiest for you to understand and use?
A) Revenue based avos earning based on a highly complex breakdown of your ticket fees.
B) all of the above

When would you like it to operate?

Earn avios from credit card churning now...much easier example in Canada...visa card can easily generate 100000 from applying for a credit with a reasonable spend requirement

Yeah, a UK based airline providing enhanced earning opportunities in Canada is a brilliant piece of simplification by BA. Go Canada.

As the OP's question has been answered and a 'further reading' link helpfully provided, we'll close this thread to avoid duplication.
'Post of the week award' must surely go to "Like most of you the new system is a big disappointment."
