Many customers were mistakenly informed that they would retain their gold or silver status despite not meeting the required points criteria. Starting April 2026, British Airways will award loyalty points based on the amount of money spent rather than the distance flown. This shift means customers must now accumulate 20,000 points annually to qualify for gold status—an increase of 1,500 points from previous requirements.
