Retain Silver

Hey

a bit of advice needed please. I’m silver with BA. I have 210 TP at present. Trying to determine whether I do my points run now before March to retain or wait and soft land to Bronze and do it after March. The trip I’ve got planned is worth 540 TP and can just do a small city CE break to make up to 600. If I do the latter and take the trip after March would I go back to silver for the rest of next year and the following? 🤔

When is your membership year end and card expiry? Are you in your new April 2024-March 2025 year? Or do you have an old year expiring (say) November or December?

Since everyone's years now start on April 1st 2025 and you are saying you can do a trip in early April it would make sense to do that. You will then have silver until 30th March 2027 (the rest of the current year and all the next). But book your trip now while you are still silver to get free seat selection. Since you mention 540 TPs I presume you are going business so lounge access won't be a problem.
