Edited: British Airways is now awarding double tier points on eligible bookings for travel taken up to 31 December 2023.
If the return to full tier point requirements has been getting you down, or even if you’re new to earning British Airways elite status, the news that the airline is currently offering double Tier Points for select bookings covering travel through December 2023 may be something that brightens up your day.
How To Earn Double Tier Points
British Airways is now awarding double tier points on flights booked as part of a package deal and that are taken by 31 December 2023.
To qualify, customers will need to either:
- Book a holiday of at least five nights before 31 December 2023, or
- Have a 2023 holiday booking for at least five nights already in place.
A hotel or car must form part of the booking for the whole trip if you are to earn double Tier Points, but bookings don’t have to be made through British Airways holidays – a standard flight + car booking will trigger the bonus Tier Points.
Full terms and conditions can be found on the promotion page.
Quick thoughts
The sweet spot here will probably be Silver Status (oneworld Sapphire status) which comes with a lot of useful benefits like lounge access and free seat selection and which requires a traveler to earn 600 Tier Points and fly on four segments booked through British Airways – that’s a Tier Point and segment total that could easily be achieved with a single Business Class long haul booking.
Bottom line
British Airways is offering double Tier Points on select holiday and flight + car bookings that cover the period through 31 December 2023.
BA’s tier point reductions for qualification/re-qualification drop back to the regular 300/600/1500 levels for anyone whose Tier point date is July 2021 forward. Unless, of course they make another extension of the reduced levels.
