Correct!

Mine is £50k - just keep spending and it will go up eventually!

Have you considered HSBC Premier? You get 0.5 Avios/£ on the free credit card, which is what I was referring to earlier. That way you can generate Avios through Curve! The paid one is 1 Avios/£ and might be worth it for you as well.
