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.
Because you are talking about £8k or so to reach Silver now which is vastly different than the current (old) system where it could easily be done by an un savvy traveller for around a quarter of that with two BA holidays. Some friends of us became silver accidentally because their two holidays to the Canaries put them over the threshold. Again, about £1000 per trip.
