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?
Thanks for that suggestion. Would it not make it slightly cheaper if I did a 5 night stay with hotel in San Francisco for 5 nights and using the Holiday double points offer? Also I did not get what RFS stands for?
Also this itinerary I would have to book separately right? As I see with BA you can only book 6 flights on one booking.
