Your proportional progress towards the next Lifetime threshold will be carried over. For instance, if you’ve collected 50% of the Lifetime Tier Points required for Gold for Life, your new balance will equal 50% of the new threshold. You can work out your new balance by multiplying your balance on 31 March 2025 by 15.71.
Multiplier is 15.71
Hi, thanks but that’s my point, they are saying it’s not 15.71 (not sure where you got that but the BA site says multiply by 15). which makes a huge difference in this instance. And why I showed the calculation of difference. It goes from 94% to 90% using their conversion calculation.
