I can see (most) Golds are f**ked but it can be potentially better for Silvers, especially if we take hotel spend and AMEX TP's into account.
If you're paying for two J seats (as a couple for example), the tier points will still be split, so you're no closer to Silver. This is explained in the BA's FAQ on that matter and extensively discussed here. And it's excluding tax, so it's closer to £10k per person spend for Silver.
