To me this doesn't make sense.
Sure, £4k is a lot of money to spend with an airline, and I'm sure BA would be grateful of the custom. However, it could be a one off business trip for someone who rarely flies / preferred carrier full up. However a Gold card holder who does a £2k trip every other month will bring in x 3 the revenue.
Therefore IMO it is irrelevant how much you have spent on a ticket.
