Most probably it is harder to maintain it than getting AB Platinum. You need to fly significantly more now than in the past to get BA Gold.

Thanks, yes, I am aware of this, but even with the exemption I would have enjoyed as existing gold member at BA for another while I would have made gold there with 26 legs, including some business and four longhauls.
