It's all about points. As you travel with us, you collect Avios points that you can spend on reward flights, hotel stays and car rental, and Tier Points that help you move through the tiers of the Club.
Avios points are the currency of the Executive Club. You collect Avios when you fly with us and our partner airlines. You can also collect Avios on hotel stays, holidays and car rental, and even when you're shopping, through deals with a wide range of partners. You can then spend them on flights and upgrades, and on holidays and car rental depending on your location.
Your Avios stay with you as long as your account remains active so make sure to collect, spend, purchase or share some Avios at least once every 36 months.

Your Avios should be credited to your account automatically and will appear on your statement. However, if you believe any Avios points or Tier Points are missing, you may be able to claim them back. New Executive Club Members can also claim Avios points and Tier Points for any British Airways flights taken up to three months before enrolment.

Tier Points help you to move through the tiers of membership. You earn them on flights with us and partner airlines.
If you earn enough Tier Points in conjunction with the required flights, we'll move you through to the next level of the Club — see the table below.
You continue to earn Tier Points throughout your membership year (12 months from your date of joining) even after you move up a tier. So, for example, when you hit Bronze, you're already half way to Silver.
You will start your next membership year at the tier you have just achieved and enjoy a full year at that tier — unless, of course, you make it to the next tier.
Tier Points reset to zero at the beginning of each membership year.
