So if I get this correctly, next years qualification (mine ends Nov) I'd only need 1125 points to get Gold? Highly possible but I have already made BA my third choice on my most travelled route... given recent labour relations. Granted that is OSL-LHR.
However, welcome and reasonably free to do (ie if you don't travel it doesn't cost them) and helps drive marginal traffic so this was the obvious choice...
Even better was that I'd changed OW for Star given moving back to Oslo. Was going to drop at year-end past, but reasonably last minute I was given a free 1 year extension (ie it occured after earning year end in November). So I am actually getting Silver for free for two years!
