Rewards update

BA expands flight tier-point bonuses from 1 April

Now in effect
British Airways Club
Effective 1 Apr 2026

British Airways now awards extra tier points by cabin and fare type on eligible BA-marketed flights, and extends extra tier-point earning to eligible American Airlines- and Iberia-marketed flights. Basic Economy fares, Reward Flights and Avios upgrades are excluded.

What this changes

The fare type and marketing carrier now matter as well as the cabin, and Travel Upgrade does not hold those for your bookings — so it will not estimate a tier-point total. Re-check projected status earning before booking.
