HTH.
I'm on a 30TP fare, but although an extra 45TP might be handy, I am only likely to make another 3 round trips this year, BT Jr on the way, so unlikely I am gonna get near silver, might keep the £200 for now and put it towards an upgrade next year when I might have a better chance of getting up there, starting late Feb to make sure I don't lose the miles. Besides S America was too hot in Jan this year.....
