Hello
My BAEC year ended on 8 August 2023. My run-off period therefore finishes (card expires) end September 23.I haven’t requalified for Gold (or even Silver or Bronze). Because my gold was sponsored, I’m trying to find out if, come 1st October 23, I will have a soft landing to Silver, or as others have suggested (because my Gold was ‘gifted’) I will drop all the way to Blue! I have done 4 BA revenue sectors but not enough even for Bronze. I think I was Silver tier before being Gold, pre-covid.
Basically, is there a way of seeing your next tier before the “run-off” period ends and it is activated? For now, everything still (correctly) shows Gold. Knowing whether I will be Blue or Silver will change my Avios vs revenue ticket choices over the next few weeks! Thanks
No, I don’t think there is.
However, if you’ve done 4 ‘qualifying’ BA cash flights (and ba.com clearly said this) then you’re fine and will be Silver.
There is debate about what happens if you are gifted Gold and DON’T do 4 qualifying flights. You SHOULD still get a soft landing to Silver but I’ve seen two examples over the years where it didn’t happen.
Thanks Rob.
Fingers’ crossed. I’ll report back in October!I promised to report back. Card expired yesterday.
I DID get a soft landing from ‘gifted’/sponsored Gold to Silver despite reports that there is no soft landing for sponsored statuses. Perhaps the soft landing was offered because I completed 4x revenue sectors even though I didn’t even reach the Bronze TP threshold.
Took 14 attempts to log in to BA.com today, so no change there!
