Pay or use Avios depending on the fare. BA has a lot of transfer partners.

If booked through CWT you can't upgrade from Y to C with Avios. Very stupid and frustrating...
Only chance is status, space available in C and overbooking in Y+

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?
