A. Option 3 - E at 35K only, though I might not make even that this year.

B. No - preferred SSWU to the mileage

C. I will stop shortly after 35K (if I even aim for it), as there is no major incentive now. However, it's a combination of events, including the elimination of the 45K SSWUs, prompting this change for me. BA has started discounting its WT+ product, as long as booked 6 weeks/42 days in advance, while granting the coveted tier points required to move up to Silver or Gold in the BA Exec Club program. So, I will earn BA Silver later this year. Afterwards, I will probably remain with BA as I'd need only about 4 transatlantics per year (which I do easily) to retain 1W Sapphire on an ongoing basis.

D. Been an AE member since 1992, Elite for about 7 years, Prestige for 2 of those 13 years.
