Tiers and benefits

About Tier Points and eligible flights

As well as collecting Avios, you’ll earn Tier Points when you fly with us and our oneworld® partners. Avios unlock your rewards, Tier Points unlock your Club benefits.

Tier Points

Here’s what you need to know about Tier Points:

  • There are four Executive Club tiers: Blue, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
  • Your Executive Club membership begins at the Blue tier and Tier Points help you climb the tiers.
  • You earn Tier Points when you fly. The amount you earn depends on your ticket type and fare class.
  • The more Tier Points you earn, the more benefits you'll receive as you move through the tiers.
  • Unlike Avios, Tier Points can't be spent on rewards and they reset back to zero every year.

Find out which flights are eligible to earn Tier Points

You’ll be awarded that status straight away (it can take up to 48 hours to show on your account). It lasts for the rest of your membership year and the full following membership year, unless you reach the next tier in the meantime.

For example:

  • If you start your Membership year as a Blue Member and earn 300 Tier Points, you’ll become a Bronze Member.
  • You’ll continue to earn Tier Points and if you reach 600 within the same year, you’ll become a Silver Member.
  • Your Tier Points reset to zero at the end of your Membership year but you’ll continue to be a Silver Member for the next Membership year.

Yes, your Tier Points expire at the end of each membership year on 31 March.

But they'll be added to your Lifetime Tier Points, the total Tier Points you’ve ever earned with the Club.

Your membership year-end date and Lifetime Tier Points are on your account page.
