100 Tier points needed for BAEC Silver
I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to advise on the cheapest way to attain 100 tier points to push me to EC Silver? I have an upcoming award flight in J to CPT in August and NRT in J in November.
I can fly from any London airport.
I dont mind doing a day trip from London and preferably before August.

You might want to consider Iberia - if you fly to Barcelona via Madrid the domestic connection in J adds 20 TP each way. For example:
120 TP / £2 per TP:
Jul 16 LGW-MAD-BCN
Jul 19 BCN-MAD-LHR
£240 on ITA Matrix

It's only 5 tier points on the cheapest BA domestic fares now so you'd need to book in the more expensive domestic fares to get 10 TP each way. Not sure about Air Berlin.
