Oh and you might have made a SAF contribution when you booked as well. Oh damn, I forgot that the type of fare (although if you had done it as a BA Holiday then you might not be clear on what that was) you intended to purchase was. Simples really....
I have now edited post #71 subsequent to this post of yours. To fix my unclear assumptions and maths.

Definitively agree that this is all MUCH simpler than in the olden days!

And my final point on maths is that if I flew to NYC this weekend, then I would get close to 18,000 TPs (for an actual spend of £15,583. So nearly 90% of Gold in one return flight. Now that one could definitely not do in one return trip in the olden days!

PS But as has been stated above by adrianlondon … if I am spending that amount of money I am getting all of the benefits anyway. Unless I have a bizarre notion to spend many thousands each year in March to then make my weekly Y flights for work somewhere more tolerable…
