Keeping a tier is a different bar from reaching it. The last column is what Sindbad publishes for a member who already holds the tier, over the same qualification window as the reaching figure. “Same as to reach” means Sindbad says the same figure that reaches the tier keeps it. A dash means no retention figure comparable with the reaching one is shown for that rung, not that renewal is automatic; where the programme publishes one over a different window, its note gives it.
Sindbad has three tiers: Blue, Silver and Gold. Tier points are earned only on Oman Air flights — partner flights earn none — plus 100 Tier points for every USD 1,000 spent on Oman Air, and they are valid for 12 months from the transaction.
