Bei British Airways wird für Kunden mit Statusverlust in 2021 erneut eine Verlängerung ausgegeben …
Im Juni 2020 hat British Airways Executive Club mal den Status um ein Jahr verlängert und die Anforderungen für 2021 gesenkt: British Airways Executive Club verlängert Status um ein Jahr und senkt Kriterien
Da bessert man nun nach und verlängert erneut. Alle Kunden mit Ablauf bis Ende 2021 erhalten nochmals 12 Monate drauf.
Die Pressemitteilung:
„Members whose Tier Point collection end date falls between 1 July and 31 December 2021, will have their Tier status protected for an additional 12 months, irrespective of how many Tier Points they earn.
It means that no British Airways Executive Club member, including Bronze, Silver and Gold card holders will lose their Tier status in 2021.
This follows members receiving a one-year extension last June
Tuesday 9 March 2021 – To thank customers for their loyalty during an extremely difficult period in its history, British Airways has today announced it will be protecting the Tier status of Executive Club members for a further year. This means that any member renewing in 2021 will enjoy their status for another year, irrespective of how many Tier Points they earn.
Eligible members will receive an additional 12 months on their Tier status expiry date which will be updated in their Executive Club accounts this week.
Niall Rooney, Head of the British Airways Executive Club, said: “As we await the Government’s decision in April and plan for the safe restart of travel as soon as possible, we want to thank our Executive Club members for their loyalty during the most difficult time in the airline’s history.
“We know many of our members haven’t been able to travel, but today’s news means they can keep their benefits for longer and use them when they’re able to fly again. We hope this complements a number of measures we’ve already introduced, including our book with confidence commitment, which provides flexibility and reassurance for our customers.”
Today’s announcement means that qualifying members will have received two years of protection. It also means that no British Airways Executive Club member will lose their Tier status in 2021.
On top of this Tier extension, in February, British Airways announced a six-month extension to all Executive Club vouchers, due to expire before 31 December 2021. This was the third extension that was applied, following similar extensions in March 2020 and October 2020 and included Gold Upgrade Vouchers and American Express Companion Vouchers. British Airways is also adding an additional six-months validity to all new Companion Voucher or Travel Together tickets earned between June 2020 and the end of December 2021.
And finally, British Airways continues to reduce the amount of Tier Points needed to reach each Tier by 25 per cent for those whose Tier Point collection year ends before July 2022.“

Bitter wenn das collecting year am 08.01 endet^^
Ich finde die Überschrift ebenso irrwegig.
Das klingt, als würde für ALLE der Status noch einmal verlängert, jedoch betrifft es nur einen Teil?!
Habe meinen Status ohnehin bis 07/22- und Dank Flügen, die bis dahin stattfinden, geht es weiter. Auch ohne Reduzierung der Vorgaben.
Finde es jedoch großartig von BA, die Stati unabhängig von den Flügen zu verlängern. Für ALLE.
Gerade die „*“ Alliance kann sich hier (zumindest so manche, wie auch TAP) NICHT gerade mit Ruhm bekleckern….
Von daher weiß ich, wieso ich BA schon seit Jahren die Treue halte…
