Why are you jumping ship so soon, if your trip will still get you Gold under the current system, assuming you complete it by April?
I have already qualified for GGL for next year, thus the TPs I earn between now and 31st March will not provide any benefits and my ambitions for GfL have been dampened by the changes. I don't think I have anything to lose and I can get Emerald status with QR, which will be easier to retain going forward. I have not had much time to digest the changes, so if this is a bad move please let me know. I have until Saturday to make the change!
