I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
If you are a Gold or Platinum Pro Players Club member, you have 3 byes at every Grand Prix. If you are a Silver member, you have 2 byes at every Grand Prix. If you won a Grand Prix Trial for a given Grand Prix, you have two byes for that Grand Prix. Otherwise, the information you need to know how many byes you currently have is on Wizards' Planeswalker Points site.
The current Planeswalker Points thresholds for byes are 1300 for one bye and 2250 for two byes. You have the bye(s) for each Grand Prix until the end of the current Yearly Award Season (until May 28, 2017) if you accumulated enough points either in the last Season (June 1, 2015 to May 29, 2016), or the current one (ending May 28). (They are not added up.) To know your yearly total for last season, click on the underlined word "Yearly" (below "LIFETIME POINTS") on your main Profile page.
