Can I just create a new Avios account in early December and thus extend my status by more than half a year and just use the new number/account going forward? Do I need to close my old account somehow first, otherwise BA will get upset?
You cannot have two accounts open at the same time. You will have to close your existing account and then open a new one. Not sure how you actually close the account, but i assume writing to BAEC would work.
But if you upgrade to Silver midway through your year you will be Silver for the remainder of your year plus the whole of the next year so you will have 15 months of Silver anyway.
