So if I do 10 RTWs... that will be 3350 just on the 3 long flights before I count the other short flights.

Right now I'm doing on BA 4000+ tier points per year last 24 months trying to reach LTG and maintaining CX DM and double the annual requirement for SQ TPPS. I'm actually home (or on holiday with the family) 2/3 of the year so considering the amount I fly I'm pretty lucky to be at home so much.

That's why I say 3000-4000 a year if I put all my OneWorld flights to CX.
How would you compare BA Emerald vs CX DM? Do they have any unpublished benefits like CX? I love the short haul redemptions on BA.
