BA status is spend-based now. We work out the cheapest way to reach the tier you want.

How we work this out. The Index is the lowest repeatable cost, in pence, at which an ordinary UK consumer can acquire one Avios today. 400 Nectar points convert to 250 Avios, and 400 Nectar points redeem for £2.00 — so an Avios costs 0.80p at the standard rate. Bonuses lower it. We publish the full method, our sources and every correction, because a number you can’t check is worth nothing.
