The SAA business class is nothing spectacular, but comfortable enough for the overnight flight that it is.

A 'C' return will get you approx 22484 status miles with DC. Why not "mix and match", do two returns on SAA and credit DC, and secure your *A gold card. Do the remaining four on Virgin, get the VS gold card, and compare the two.
