I have not flown TG for ages and I have not used my vouchers either.

Current Mileage : 287,660
Miles expiring on 31-Dec-2012 : 177,725
Here is the latest communication I have had with the London office of TG
You have one complimentary upgrade for a return ticket, you would not use any air miles, you would only pay the tax difference. You also have one 50% award ticket to use, you would only use half of the miles normally needed for a return ticket. You must get tickets issued for both by 30th of June 2013 when your Gold status expires, even if your travel date are later this year.
So if I book a Q Class ticket I can update for free (well almost) with my comp upgrate.
But its the 50% award ticket that I confused about. Could I book LHR-BKK-LHR-BKK-LHR and get upgraded on all them for 50% of the miles?

Sorry about the lack of information before
The complimentary upgrade (GUP) bumps your booking one class, from econ to bus or bus to first, subject to purchasing a suitable fare in the first place. I don't believe you could apply it to a LHR-BKK-LHR-BKK-LHR booking, but would be delighted to learn otherwise.
The 50% deal allows you to make a redemption booking on TG for 50% of the normal points, it's not an upgrade at 50% of normal points.
