It's a real pity the effect all these changes make. Some of us pay for all our travel out of our own pockets - true leisure GOLD passengers. I'm currently nudging up towards 3,000 TP for the FIRST time, with an Apr membership year end. Now there's no incentive to reach a higher plain. No way I'd ever get to 5,000 TP, and as has been pointed out: there's a bit gap between 1,500 and 5,000 with just two upgrade voucher benefits in-between. Come on BA: Invent some more incentives for loyalty from your pure leisure passengers!
