Hi.
Hope all you guys are well.
Newbie here with a few tier point questions I am sure you knowledgeable guys will have the answers for.
My wife and I are currently sitting at 270 TPs for our current earning period, We have a reward flight booked in September outbound in UC and back in Prem...We will earn 100 TPs for the outbound taking us to 370 TPs each and then 50 TPs for the return in Prem...This would then trigger the Silver status however if I am correct the we would loose the spare 20 TPs as we only needed 30 to make Silver (I know the spare 20 are retained towards Gold in this earning period but I doubt we will achieve that).
First question is do you think its worth doing a 30 TP run on say KLM or AF to earn 30 TPs before go meaning that the outbound UC flight in September would trigger the SIlver status meaning then that 50 TPs we earn in Prem on the return flight would all count towards us retaining Silver the following year.
Second question, when booking flights on partner airlines websites do all the flights even the ones operated by other airlines award TPs or do the flights have to be marketed AND operated by the airline you book with, I found a flight to AMS then home via CDG to LHR on the KLM website however the return flight was operated be AF, would those flights give us TPs or not ?...I found a the same flight on the AF website too.
Or is there an easier way to earn the 30 TPs each or is it not worth it ?.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Gav.
