Waiting for flights to post to reach Silver
I decided to accumulate tier points to get up to silver as soon as possible to make a lot of upcoming BA short inter Europe economy flights as civilized as possible. By booking with BA and their partners trips to India and N & S America I calculated that I could do this and reach the 600 TP in around 6 weeks. Having made these trips I am now stuck on 500 points as the last but one leg of the journey, a LATAM business class flight from GRU to Miami, has not posted after 2 weeks. I read on the site that LATAM TPs and Avios can take up to 6 weeks to post and therefore my silver status could conceivably not arrive until I am well into my European flight schedule, thus defeating the point of rushing to attain it. Do I suck it up and and wait or are there alternatives?
