I feel some of that pain! In fairness, those who do that in Y will get to Gold a lot quicker.

Precisely - it is why a lot of us are with bmi in the first place.

As for LiviLion's question, I would chew bmi's hand off for option 1 but suspect higher-priced option 2 more realistic and would happily consider option 4: a non-targeted double/triple-status-on-bmi-metal flight promotion. That would make me happy and put money in the bmi till.
