FREQUENT FLYER GLOSSARY

Elite tier qualification thresholds

Qualification thresholds are the status points, segments or spend you must reach within a qualification window to move up to an elite tier.

Reviewed by: Content review · Last updated:

Key takeaways

  • Thresholds are measured in status points (or segments, or spend), not award miles.
  • Every threshold has a window; flying outside it does not count.
  • This page lists 30 verified qualification thresholds.
  • Some programmes let you qualify on miles or segments.

How to read a threshold

A complete threshold has four parts: tier, metric (status miles, segments or spend), value and window. If any is unclear you cannot tell how far you are from the next tier; we mark unclear parts as unknown.
