Service Update: Changes to your Qualification Period

We're reaching out to tell you that we're in the process of making some changes to AerClub. This adjustment is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance your experience and make it a little more straightforward.

Standardised Qualification Period:

As part of this, all AerClub members will now have the same Qualification Period. Your new Qualification Period start date is 1st April 2024. You'll be able to see this change in your account after 10th April 2024. That means every year your Qualification Period begins anew, and your Tier Credits will reset to zero on the 1st of April.

Tier Status and Tier Benefits Extension:

The good news is that your current Tier status and any remaining applicable Tier benefits will be protected and extended until 31st March 2025. If your current Tier status already exceeds 31st March 2025, it will be extended to 31st March 2026.

Tier Credits Review:

Additionally, we are reviewing any Tier Credits earned between 1st April 2023 and 31st March 2024. Based on this review any related Tier status upgrade will be applied to your account after 10th April 2024. That means you still have time to earn Tier Credits and unlock more benefits! To learn more about this change, check out our FAQs using the link below.

We look forward to sharing more updates with you in the near future.

Love, AerClub

You don’t in the sense that they will reset in Apr, however if you log online and you add up your TCs since 01 Apr 2023 you will see your total - if that’s enough to climb to the next tier or maintain your tier then so be it.

So my renewal date is November…only two flights pre-April24 first total tier credits will be 250

tier credits since April 23 are 500 to renewal so basically means platinum?

I can see a disaster in the offing here 😀

So I last reset in November. If I don't get enough tier points to move up by the end of March I will reset to zero again? I am on target to get enough by November but not by the end of March. So I will lose out?

... and if your current tier is Green, then congratulations on keeping that to April 2025

My EI Platinum status ends in early March and my Tier credits will reset to zero. I expect to drop back to Silver.

I have some trips in late March and will earn new credits for those flights - but they’ll promptly be lost on 1 April…

Will the count-back provision mean that the lost credits can still count toward rebuilding my Tier status after 1 April?

I'm Platinum and my current reset date is 28th November 2024.

I currently have 230 tier points and travel booked in March with a value of approx. 240 tier points and was planning travel with Aer Lingus to hit Concierge before Nov 2024.

Are AL planning to wipe that out back to 0 on April 1?!

Edit: I read the email again and that seems to be it. Very unfair to change the rules of the game mid way through the game.

Just did a calc and looks like I'm about 91 point short of concierge if I calculate from April 1st 2023. As it happens I may need to go to Manchester this month -- does that trip award full tier credits like any European flight?

Coming back to the Amsterdam lounge update someone shared last week, I visited the refreshed one this week. There's a lift up to it (3rd floor) just around the corner to the right from where the alternative Cafe Frames is. Food selection is pretty much identical to what was in Frames (pity as was hoping for more options) and instead of bar service it's self service drinks. There's a good bit more seating room and nice to have toilets inside it. Great view out over the runways too! As before, just remember allow a bit of a hike to the gates for Dublin.

It sounds like they will factor in any tier credits you earned from April 1st last year, so if you travelled in early April 2023, you would have additional credits above what your status currently shows.

I think the more interesting thing is if this move is to align with BA is another indication of OW membership in second quarter of 2025. If so absolutely worth the pain.

If they gave a crap then they’d do it in our favour by giving us a year from 1st April + whatever we’ve already started and not wipe it out. But they dont give a crap.

I have 8 Aer Lingus flights logged between April-June 2023 prior to signing up for Aer Club. I can see a record of said flights in the Aer Lingus app (but not Aer Club). Is there any way of them being included to get points?

Has anyone actually spoken to Aer Lingus / AerClub about this to get clarity?
