Certainly, as your usual travel gets you close to Gold, it seems worth pushing the extra bit to achieve it ... and the see how you feel. We rack up the TPs with additional holidays, which is always nice, and use ‘creative routings’ wherever possible to the USA ... that might fit your scenario? A bit of extra effort to do an ex-DUB to the USA can also be VERY beneficial.

Go on, go for it!! You know you’re tempted, and if OAPs can do it why shouldn’t you?
I do hope you sell things for a living sir



Thanks a lot for the help all, it seems I've got a bit of looking around to do on point collection optimisation!
