My BA account has been in Denmark for several years now, and until a couple of years ago this required less Tier Points to qualify for Gold status. This deal was withdrawn and all BA customers are equal now, in terms of Tier Point requirements.
Odd timing on some accounts appear to have extended the lower requirements further than expected.
Anyone still gaining benefit from the old deal?
BA mentioned to me that this would be valid for 2 extra years after the avios chance. Last year I needed 800 and this year too, but I think it will be the last
