how long until your tier points appear on your BA account?

Tier points usually appear in your BA account within a few days, but it can take up to about 2 working weeks in some cases. BA’s own terms for certain credit-card tier-point offers say they transfer to your British Airways Club account within 8 weeks, while forum reports for flights commonly mention 2–3 days, sometimes up to a week or more.

Typical timing

• BA flights often post in around 2 to 3 days.
• Some travelers report seeing them within 24 hours.
• Delays of a week are not unusual, especially when partner airlines are involved.

When to chase it

• If they still haven’t shown after 2 weeks, it’s reasonable to check your booking details and contact BA.
• For specific bonus or card-based tier points, the official terms may allow longer processing windows, including up to 8 weeks for some offers.

Practical tip

Keep your booking reference and boarding pass until the points are posted, since that makes any missing-claim request easier to resolve.

In short: a few days is normal, two weeks is the point where it starts looking delayed.
