I wish i knew about this a few years back although have got some great CW deals flying from the UK via Dublin.
20 years ago i spent a lot of time travelling and accumulated a number of exec club points. Now my kids are off my hands i'm traveling more, using our AmEx companion vouchers and Avios points. We have 900,000 Avios as we accumulated 2 million Marriott points and converted on a special 25% extra offer. We also pay for some CW flights via Dublin / AMS.
Im currently at 30,000 lifetime TP's and am 5,000 TP short of lifetime Gold. Is it worth paying for a few trips over the next couple of years that maximise TP's to get this card?

Depends on the cost to accrue the TPs. If you can get the flights cheaply for cash, you might use the points more wisely in the process. It might also be a challenging diversion to plan with the goal of getting two things accomplished at one time.
We all have to decide whether to use miles or cash in payment. If the price in cash is nominal and the return in TP is interesting, then there's little harm. Everything is revoked for us eventually and if you find it fun, do it.
