My understanding is that BA will only count TP you earned from 1st April 2024 through 31st March 2025 to calculate your status for Silver if you have not already gained it by 8th January.

So it depends when you earned the 520:

…if they were all earned on/after 1/4/24 then you need 80 more by 31/3/25.

…otherwise you only have until tomorrow to get the extra 80 TP (a quick return in CE), otherwise any TP earned before 1/4/2 will be excluded from the ‘carry over’ to the new earning period ending 31/3/25 and you’ll need more than 80 TP to retain Silver.

BA website says…

Ending in January
Your current Tier Point Collection Year will continue as normal until 8 January 2025. The status you achieve during this period will expire on 28 February 2026
Your next collection period will be 9 January – 31 March 2025
Tier Point Adjustment: we’ll add on any Tier Points you earn during 1 April 2024 – 8 January 2025 to work out your Tier status
Any Tier status you earn during the transition period (i.e. your next tier point collection period which starts on 9 January 2025 and is shortened to end 31 March 2025, with the Tier point adjustment applied) will expire on 30 April 2026

Afaik there’s nothing formal/binding from BA.

Given that it’s an obvious question that BA is choosing not to answer, I’d plan on the assumption that even if they maintain soft landings this April it will be the last time.
