One needed 600 TP with PE at 90 points and Biz = 140 points. So 2 x PE returns all upgraded plus a couple of AA returns got me sillver. I think the timing is to follow others, and offer us an impossible choice - ditch BA status and chase AC status which I did and is now in question, or wait and see with AC. Its now coincidence that AC are following others and re-levelling the playing field. But we lose out regardless.
I guess it depends on how you measure loyalty - then pick your poison.
