Example: KUL-LHR-AMS next weekend, priced at less than 5k ringgit/900 pounds, gives 220 TP and get you up to silver. If you have any avios to spare, use avios + cash to bring the price down further.
If you're going to do this, and just 'buy' status, get your flights in right at the start of your TP collection year if you can. Then you get he rest of that year + following year + 1 month of status for your money.
