So we are now several months since the start of the mourning process

My new membership year has started today, Gold has been renewed without issue, for another 12 months, and still little clue about what to do. I have, at the same time, opened an A3 account (I was going to do TK which I actually fly a fair bit but the notion of 150% miles in J instead of 200% sounded bad and the A3 programme does sound rather attractive thus far). I'm still struggling to know if I should continue accruing on BD, or do my accrual on A3 (but lose the *G privileges for the couple of trips when I'd be an A3 nobody) or... well, I really wonder when it is that BD will tell us that it is no longer 'business as usual' I guess...
