British Airways changes loyalty program to award points based on spending, starting April 1.

British Airways is overhauling its loyalty program to award points based on spending rather than distance or fare class, effective April 1. Customers will earn one point per pound spent, with 20,000 points needed for gold status. To ease concerns, the airline offers a bonus of up to 550 points per flight and guarantees bronze status with 25 flights annually. The changes aim to reward loyal customers better, though some critics worry it may disadvantage economy and leisure travelers.
