Should I care? Apart from having lots of unused/wasted tier points (about 1200) Is this reason enough to sneak in a quick J return in Europe (as advised on the BA Forum)?

I ask as I am still a Blue and if I do this J Europe run I will be elligible for a Silver for two years or a Gold - Is this worth 200 pounds?

I forsee flying mostly economy after my DONE4 - What would you do?

Thanks

I would also check all the segments you have ticketed and see if there is a BA code-share on any of them which you can use - this would be free as not a re-issue. And in any case if your itin allows, I think a reissue of your DONE4 is cheaper than an MR for 200 pounds....and if you can get the same effect or better..........
