On top of all that I should start building my Lifetime status with BA before I return to MPC, which is a true value there!
My question now is how should I play with my MPC, should I complete my points to renew my SL and put it on holiday mode? Or dump my club points and focus all my contribution to BAEC?
My upcoming flight plans according to BEAC points:
My next 8 flights will be put me right on Gold with the spending of $6664. It's well worth it and I'll be OWE in less than 2 months! Just wow.
Same flight plans towards MPC:
I will be a few points off before GO
I guess the answer is clear, certainly going with BA and see ya later MPC.
Just remember BA's points have a lot of charges on top of it (in some cases), so the use is limited in some routes/countries, especially BA-operated flights.

A while later, they were able to print me the boarding pass and I was upgraded from PE(Y) to Business class (J?).
My flight was LAX-HKG.
Which again proves...YMMV.
