    A question – has any one managed to move from Silver to Gold, or Gold to Platinum after a status match, without any RJ sectors?

    Mine got extended. The code shares operated by Iberia Express were not accepted. Doing a mileage run again this summer. I booked a fixed desk in a flex space in Granada for a month. Plan is to take the first flight out and the last flight back to Madrid every weekday in August.

    Is it specifically Iberia Express that was declined? I have 3 flights in October on Iberia – all Iberia flight codes, with 2 operated by Air Nostrum. Hoping to use these to get me to Platinum.

    All Air Nostrum to destinations in RJ’s “earn miles” calculator were accepted. Note I took some funruns to places such as Castellon de la Plana and between Mallorca & Menorca. These flights were declined. If RJ does not recognize the route, the route does not exist ;p

    So are you flying LHR-MAD-GRX each morning, spending the day working, then flying back at night? I’m guessing that’s cheaper than booking accommodation?

    Maybe I could do this to somewhere with a beach 😂. Though the MAN-MAD is only once daily so I’d need a more expensive BA flight for the other end of the day.

    So if using the RJ method, you need to run each route through their calculator to check it’s eligible?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Looking forward to when I’ll finally hit Gold at the end of August to start getting some perks and then hopefully Platinum by mid-December.

    I’ve just had a bit of a play with the RJ calculator and there are a few routes missing, e.g. VGO to LPA and PMI. These are seasonal, though, so maybe that’s why?
