Thanks for the replies.

I think I'll join M&M; I should be able to get to gold pretty easily with a few of my regular BD MAN-LHR trips.

A question : can you suggest a procedure for flashing my BD gold card (maximising the chances of an upgrade) whilst accruing miles on the card of another *A carrier?
