how many tier points for ba silver

You need 7,500 Tier Points or 50 eligible flights in a tier year to earn British Airways Silver under the new “British Airways Club” structure that is replacing Executive Club.

Quick Scoop: BA Silver Tier Points

Core requirement:
Earn 7,500 Tier Points in one tier point collection year or take 50 eligible flights with BA to reach Silver.

A few important nuances:

  • Two ways to qualify
    • Hit 7,500 Tier Points in your year.
* Or fly **50 eligible flights** with British Airways (and qualifying partners under the new scheme).
  • Why you might see different numbers online
    • Older guides and blog posts still quote the old Executive Club requirement of 600 Tier Points or 50 flights , which applied before BA’s new “The Club” changes.
* BA’s **current official Silver benefits page** now states the **7,500 Tier Points / 50 flights** thresholds, so that is the up‑to‑date figure going forward.
  • Examples BA gives for reaching Silver
    British Airways shows example itineraries that could total enough Tier Points for Silver under its new earning model, like multiple Club Europe returns or a mix of long‑haul premium cabins plus BA Holidays packages, reflecting that you now earn 1 Tier Point per £1 plus “extra” Tier Points by cabin and route.

If you share your typical routes and cabins (e.g., “5–6 Europe trips in economy + 1–2 US trips in premium”), a rough Tier Point plan can be sketched to show how close that gets you to the 7,500 target.
