On the routing LHR - MAD - TFS - BA Executive Club members would earn 40 Tier Points per sector for Business Class (booking into fare classes; R, I, J, C or D)
Looks like a cheap way to earn 160 TP's

I should add that I have done this route many times in Business and have always earned a total of 160 TP's for a return 4 sector trip.

Start and end from JER for an additional 80 TPs - lots of available dates at £438 which would bring the TP ratio down to £1.83/TP.
(However, unless you have business in Jersey, you should in all honesty also account for £35 + 9000 Avios for positioning flights, which would take the total to £473 or £1.97/TP)

BA TP while booked through IB?
I'd like to take advantage of these Business Promotional fares on IB, but I want the TP on my BA account. The promotional fares aren't available on the BA site.
Can this be done? It's implied in the thread, but I don't know how to do it.

The LA ZEEEV209 and IEEEV209 tarifs ex TXL and FRA should be mentioned when discussing this. It's TFN/AGP/VLC/... as destination and not TFS but it can be routed on LA FRA-MAD for 140TP per direction.
It's been discussed ad nauseam on German VFT (http://www.vielfliegertreff.de/first...0-eur-r-t.html) and I believe it's been mentioned here as well.

You could do: JER-LGW-MAD(overnight layover)-TFN(same day turnaround)-VLC(overnight layover)-LGW-JER, totalling 240TP for $395.
Obviously not including the hotel costs and overall longevity.
Add in the LON-JER (paid) r/t and you could add another 10/80TP depending on the booking.
Not much ground time (pretty much sleep in MAD, morning in VLC), but an easy 250TP+ earning for a weekend for £320/€340/$395.
