Where are the new GGLs coming from?
The old scheme, say if they were paying £5k for a F return would have earned them 4200TP for 10 returns.
Wouldn't have to be specifically on BA metal either, and an extra 800TP wouldn't be too hard to achieve with some connections or personal trips.
Now, unless everyone is now on last minute £10k+ fares (when the company wouldnt have a travel budget above say £2k before), the same number of trips at the same price as above would yield around 50k TP + whatever bonuses which might hit to 65kTP for a first time GGL.
Stays in ultra luxury hotels. You can get just one week-long trip to New York, staying at the Warldof Astoria to net 123,000 tier points.
