We are Gold due to a fair bit of long haul J flying the past couple of years combined with playing the game. { Did have a lovely few days in Catania and Sofia on that journey. }

But I did say "hypothetically" to using runs to maintain silver every couple of years. There is value there as we would get cica 2k worth of product for less than 1k outlay + time spent, however there wouldn't be value for me in doing pure mileage runs for gold. { There may however be value in a couple of strategic SH J flights or creative LH routing in your overall holiday itinerary to achieve / retain it. }
