British Airways has announced a much-anticipated extension of tier status for its Executive Club Members.
Members’ tier statuses will now be renewed for 12 months beyond their current end date.
All members with tier point collection end dates of July 2020 through to June 2021 will benefit from the move.
Note that it does not cover those members who had tier point collection end dates of April, May or June this year, which may frustrate some of our readers, but the carrier points out that it had already reduced tier point thresholds by 30 per cent for these members earlier this year.

In addition BA is reducing the number of tier points needed to reach each tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Gold Guest List and Concorde Room Card) by 25 per cent for the year after the 12-month extension.
Finally the carrier is also applying a six-month extension to all newly issued companion vouchers earned in July, August and September.
Full details of these changes have now been published on the BA website here.
The subject of BA tier point requirements in the light of the coronavirus crisis has been discussed on our forum over the last few months.
