Reply To: Flights that were completed by 2022 but were credited in 2023

I was suffering with the same issue. It’s quite confusing but ultimately BA why they didn’t roll me through the tiers.

My tier point year reset in late October 2022. I flew a LHR-MIA business return in early Dec 2022 via Finnair (which were codeshares) @140 TP each way. I should have obtained enough points to move past the 225 tier point threshold for Bronze that was in place until 31 Dec 2022, after which it reverted to the pre-pandemic level of 300. The points hadn’t appeared by the end of January (I understand it is common for codeshare carriers to take a long time to post, or simply never post) so I filled in a form for missing points and they were finally posted in mid Feb. But no move into Bronze. I spent several phonically querying why not, on the premise that if the points had been posted on time (i.e. before 31 Dec), I would have exceeded 225.

But they say issue is this: although codeshare flights are eligible for tier points, they do not count towards the 2 eligible flights required in addition to the tier point threshold (it’s 4 eligible flights for silver/gold) because they weren’t “marketed or operated” by BA or Iberia. My account still shows 0 out of 2 eligible flights and I suspects yours may be the same if you haven’t actually flown a BA flight. I’m confused by this as one flight was on a BA plane (i.e. BA metal/logo on the outside) and had a BA flight number; the other was AA but still had a BA flight number).
