Elite tiers
| Tier | status miles required |
|---|---|
| Silver | 30,000 |
| Gold | 70,000 |
| Navigator | 125,000 |
Achievement thresholds shown: Silver 30,000 / Gold 70,000 / Navigator 125,000 Status Miles (flight alternatives: Gold 50 TAP flights; Navigator 70, of which 10 on premium fares). Maintenance is lower on miles but not always on flights — Gold 50,000 or 40 flights; Navigator 100,000 or still 70 flights. Both Gold AND Navigator carry Star Alliance Gold — Gold is the entry point. 10% of renewal Status Miles carry over (max 10,000). Bonus Miles convert to Status Miles at a constant 2:1 but under two different published caps — 10,000 → 5,000 and 20,000 → 10,000 per earning period — so the ceiling depends on status, not the ratio. TAP earns on the FARE BRAND, never the booking class: its own page says accrual varies depending on the TAP fare chosen, and publishes eight brand rows and no letter rows, so flights on TAP metal credited to Miles&Go show an unknown rate for a booking letter. No brand-to-letter map exists, and cannot: the brands are nested rather than disjoint, so one letter (V, say) can be Plus, Classic, Basic or Discount and earn 100%, 100%, 50% or nothing. Codeshares sold as TAP but flown by a partner are treated as a Basic fare (40% Europe/North Africa, 50% intercontinental). Partner flying is now modelled from TAP's own 24 Star Alliance charts, which ARE booking-class keyed even though TAP's own metal is not. Two limits worth knowing: Miles&Go splits its currency, and only Status Miles count for tier — they are earned on TAP and Star Alliance member flights only, so TAP's five bilateral partners (Azul, Emirates, Etihad, GOL, SATA Azores) earn Bonus Miles alone however generous their published percentage looks; and the tier bonus (Silver +25%, Gold and Navigator +50% of miles flown, on TAP metal only) is held but not yet selectable, so figures here are at the base tier.
