  • 408 posts

    I’m not a newby but I can’t quite get my head around the next years qualifying period.

    I’m currently Gold with no tier points yet this year and to re qualify I understand I need 1500 but can part of that be earned in the period from 9th Dec to end March. For example if I earn 1000 from 1st April 24 to 8th Dec and then 500 from then until end of March will I then retain Gold to end March 26?

    BTW. If you don’t have 1500 TPs on the 9th Dec 24, you’ll drop to Silver.

    Depends when your current tier point year ends.

    My current year end is 8th Dec.

    What’s the bit about adding in tier points earned from 1st April this year?

    Please look at the very comprehensive article Rob and Rhys wrote about this and which explains the transition mechanism between old and new system clearly and simply.

    They’d appear after the 8th Dec 24.

    Yes I read the article but was still confused.

    So in my example I would drop down to silver on 9th Dec with Gold membership benefits to 31st January and then when the pre and post 8th Dec tier points I’ll be back up to Gold from 1st April. Is that right?

    Yes that’s how I understand it. The TP from 1Apr2024 to 8Dec2024 are counted twice and added to your TP earned in your new shortened TP year.

    Alternatively earn 1500TP between 1Apr and 8Dec to automatically renew Gold.
