Simply put, not much.

Considering that you fly exclusively in J/F and have UC / MLL membership, the following benefits are useless to you:
  • Priority check-in
  • Priority baggage handling
  • Airport lounge access
  • Priority boarding
  • Gold track
So that leaves these benefits:
  • Extra baggage allowance - 1 more piece of luggage than what your ticket allows, but not all flights
  • Priority reservations waitlist - if you can't get F for your flight
  • Priority airport stand-by - nice to have if you always change your flights, especially at last minute
  • Heathrow Express upgrades - useful if you fly to LHR a lot and use the rail
Then there is better IRROPS handling - but as a premium cabin pax, it may not help that much
