Talking of which, it would be nice if one could also use two upgrades voucher to guarantee an upgrade even when I/A is not available!!

I splashed 840,000 miles on two CW LHR-SYD GPR seats for a family holiday earlier this year. it seemed like a lot of miles to spend at the time, but it was worth it to me and meant the four of us could fly on the dates we wanted at a much reduced cost...

The Gold Priority Reward has the downsides of high avios cost and the need to book at least 30 days out; however, it can definitely be a useful benefit to keep in mind where the situation is right.
I find the one-way proposition to be worth bearing in mind. Eg JFK to LON for 120k avios (+TFC) in Biz.
Of course since the Avios reward chart changes earlier in the year this still feels a lot compared to the 80k it used to cost for the same GPR.
On short-haul, arguably, it fits the bill more frequently.
