I haven't flown much since 2021 and my platinum has fallen to bronze. i do like an EK F award though which soon i can't get. I'm wondering if it's even worth pursuing 200sc with QF to regain access there. I'm PCP and have millions of QF points. I could think of a reason to go to DFW soon, i fly out of PER.
Should i bother chasing this?
Cheers.

You need 300 SC to attain silver, whether you should bother chasing is a call only you can make...

You need to weight:
The inconvenience and cost to chase silver.
The likelihood you can book your EK flights in F, once EK implements all the announced change. At best F availability goes back to what it was a while (1 year?) ago. You have the points, great, but you need the seats.
Cost taxes, and percieved value of EK F flights. Do you have other options for comfortable travel from PER?

Since you are PCP, I would wait first to see if F redemptions come back at a better volume. Worse case scenario you drop bronze, start with 100SC from PCP, maybe a green tier, and you are back 200 SC away from Silver, but you have all the info to make a better informed decision.

So much depends on your plan, preferences etc...
