Fortunately, the lost 120 TPs weren't crucial to our Gold re-qualification -- but they might have been.
I'm not familiar with BA TP so unfortunately can't help, and it's a bit off-topic for this thread. The OP doesn't mention if ANC is because they WANT to go there, or if it's for mileage/qualification reasons. That makes a big difference.

Both AA and AS add a lot of routes to/from ANC for the summer season, but options are much more limited if the OP wants to travel outside summer.
