I agree with ScottC. The Gold status is very valuable to me even if my mileage earning potential and award seat potential have been somewhat diluted. I've just discussed the comparison of benefits between AA Platinum and BA Gold over on the AA board, and the consensus is that BA Gold is worth quite a bit more.

One reason the Gold membership might drop, though, is the now-higher threshold for retaining Gold status (was 1200 tier points, now 1500). This might become an issue for me in the future, unfortunately. I'll be doing everything I can to avoid losing that Gold status.
