Question What's a (Scandi) FF to do?

Since July I've been flying LHR<->ARN about every 2 weeks, and since I also have a need to visit Dublin now and then, DC has been receiving all the points. Seemed like the best option at the time. Also re-targeted credit card spend from VS card to shiny new BMI card.

I have a bloated VS account with 350K+, but haven't had the chance to use any in the last 3 years.

I have an old "blue" BAEC also, now Avios I guess, but not much in there.

I just hit silver on DC with the assistance of the BMI Amex card. I have a fair few trips planned the coming year, about the same between LHR<->ARN, plus some with LGW<->MLA and some LHR<->BOS. Also Edinburgh is somewhere there.

So wise uncles/aunties - do I freeze DC bookings and target BA now? Or do I continue targetting SAS/BMI etc, and hope that there is some kind of trade-in offered by BAEC/Avios?

Any tips gratefully received!
