Initially I have thought that it would be mandatory to fly the segments in order to keep the promo avios. I have secured a hall pass from mrs shady (teasing her with a trip to brazil). Briefed similarly "half-crazy" friend, who got the hall pass as well and we booked positioning flights. When info emerged you dont have to fly, we were considering to skip it but with hall passes in one hand and positioning ticket in the other hand we went for it.
