Any suggestions on trips you may have booked recently which will help me achieve or get close to the 2700 TP would also be greatly appreciated.
You can do DUB-LHR-JFK-LAX-SFO-LAX-JFK-LHR-DUB in business for under £2K in July, Aug, Sept, Oct. 2 nights over a weekend so you'd save on hotels. You need to get to/from Dublin at the start and finish (if you have Avios already then RFS is your friend for positioning - you'll earn plenty with these trips).
So £2K + hotels for 720 TPs
You'd need to do that four times = £9K or £10K
Given that you have Gold already that is a hell of a lot of money to get a Concorde lounge card (2 lounges), some upgrade vouchers, partner cards (1 x Gold, 2 x Silver), 2 x jokers and access to the GGL line
The upgrade vouchers and jokers might get you a few thousands pounds of value, and the partner cards might be useful to friends/family, but not sure I'd value GGL at £10K over Gold?
