    Has anyone heard anything more about this?
    Still no date mentioned that I can see.
    Amex told me to contact BA, BA told me to contact Amex!

    Whose going to pay for these

    My view there are many people a few teir points doesn’t matter. For example gold for life , those who make gold easily but won’t make GGL, similarly those who make silver easily but won’t make gold.

    For all of these , would not like it if Amex either increases fees to pay for teir points, or ups the threshold for 241 because of these costs.

    I’m one of these who would not be happy

    This is the issue. One way or another it won’t exactly be free to the cardholder.

    Indeed, I see a fee increase coming to allow for the enhancements.

    The only fair way would be to offer a choice.

    Eg No teir points and 241 at £15000 as now.
    Eg 2500 teir points and 241 at £17500 say

    Anyway if they either put prices or threshold up , goodbye

    Come on BA surely this should have been thought of and agreed with Amex before the late December announcement? Those teir points could be very useful and I’ve been holding off purchases until we hear the conditions for earning.

    I expect that’s the problem, Amex don’t want to increase either fees or threshold and lose customers, BA won’t give teir points away for nothing.
