It was around 1/6 as a Silver and about 1/10 as a Gold. As an EXP it was around 0% (and I did more flights on BA as an AA EXP than as a BA Gold)!!! :(

The IAD-LHR flights were better for op-ups from WT+ for me with around 1/5 as a Silver and 1/8 as a Gold.

Gold is great for four things.

1. Using the BA lounges regardless of whether or not I am flying BA or Oneworld. (I often use the BA CPH lounge on arrival into CPH regardless of carrier.)
2. Extra coach award availability (and if you book into that "extra" availability, you get miles at the 25% level :) ).
3. Whenever flying out on BA long-haul, use the Molton Brown spa and get a spa treatment (massage, facial, etc.) for free.
4. BA drops you down one tier at a time, so you will be BA Silver for 13-months after you lose Gold.

Thanks for the advice.

Another good perk is that the BA lounge at OSL is in the domestic part of the airport. Since I travel quite a bit domestic Norway, it would be nice using that lounge
