I gained BA silver status a couple of years ago, making use of the old system and double points for BA holidays with a small tier point run also. I matched this to FB gold last year but I have now soft landed to bronze and silver respectively as I haven't reached the requirements of either to maintain it.
I hope this clears things up and thank you for your advice.
i do not see any reasonable scenario where you could earn status with 8k miles per year. So gaining lounge access or anything else isn’t going to work out,
