Currently my BA Silver Status runs through to Sept 13, as I earned early this year.

When do I match my BD*G? I'm assuming it's at the last possible minute, will we get fair warning?

NB - Silver is "good enough" for me on BA, so I'd be looking for the longest period of Gold, then soft land to Silver then maybe a quick AA MR to restore Silver for a couple of years.

(OT: the best value BA MR seems to be just after your status drops Silver to Bronze. Regain Silver then you have the current year + the next year to use the status)

If Silver is good enough for this Summer, then I would match after 9 Sep 2013 to get 2 years Gold and 1 Silver afterwards. The match should run until then, as BMI will exist until the new timetable starts in October.
