Tier run – Yes or No ?

[paul-uk]

I currently only have 50 Tier Points, due to expire in a month or so.

I have a Voucher to use.

We are booked UC LHR-MIA next week earning 100 Tier Points each way.

We already have a one-way UC in November, earning 100 Tier Points.

So, I will have 300 Tier Points then

Before using the Voucher next year, is it worth me doing to Tier Run to reach Silver (for the higher redemption level) ??

I could do Premium LHR-JFK-LHR for under 30,000 Points & £600 to earn 100 Tier Points

Is it worth it?

Wouldn’t a short haul cash flight on KL/AF be cheaper (and save your points for another trip) ?

If I’ve read the table tight it looks like you get 40TPs for say LHR-AMS in business

Your tier points don’t ‘expire’. Once back to Red its a permanent look back over 12 months, so you need to tell us when you earned those 50TP.

If it was December or later then at the end of November you’ll have 350 which, as noted above, is a gap you can close fairly easily.

ah its Feb 2026 the 50 Points?

You have 50 Tier Points

Earn 350 more Tier Points to level up to Silver Tier membership and unlock more exciting rewards.
You have points that expire on 28 February 2026.

Ive just had a thought – if we have a Family Account, my wife and I, do we get 100 points per leg EACH – do they then give us Silver twice as quickly?

Whilst miles get credited to your account tier points still belong to the individual member(s) and get credited to their accounts.
