Hi there

Currently bmi will give you 9000 miles for joining their Diamond Club program.
That's enough for a round trip award ticket within zone 1 from UK.

Don't know if you have to have a UK address for this deal, but as i have a couple i can use, I didn't bother to check.

Cheers

Thanks for the link, although do I really need another FF membership that has a very low number of points in it?

According to the T&C, I can't see a UK address requirement. Doesn't mean they won't add one though.

Saw this on FT:

OT: Join BMI Diamond Club and get 9,000 miles immediately! - FlyerTalk Forums

Quote:

Yup, its as simple as that - as long as you're not already a member.

Go to www.flybmi.com and follow the link. 9,000 miles will be deposited in your account within 3 days.

9k is enough for a Y ticket to Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Lux, Netherlands, Ireland or Switzerland, or a J ticket (with a £105 co-pay) to the above plus Malta, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey etc. The only condition is that you can do it on a direct flight from the UK with a *A airline, as connecting flights cost more.

Any Opinions on how this may relate to Oz based FFer's?

Sorry, just saw this: http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/comm...tml#post156370

However, I believe this is the better forum for this information.

I feel bad tonight....

For Australians, from everything I've seen and checked out it looks like it is a goer! The challenge for me is working out if I want yet another FF membership that I'll rarely (if ever) use. I could get a comp of Status with them though which I'm thinking about.

There is the possibility of achievable Status Matching; however that may be a "once only" so it requires some forethought on how one would use such status.

I recall a thread 2 or so years ago where NWA status matched; and they did! Not sure if any got a benefit from it though.

I tried to sign up late last night, but got the error "Website Unavailable" after submitting all of my details. This error has been commonly reported over at Flyertalk. I don't believe it went through as I didn't get any emails etc after signing up and my login I created didn't work.

Tried again this morning with the same error

I had the same problem when I tried to sign up. (Not sure what I was going to do with 9000 miles though!)

Just signed up and asked them to status match.

Will let you know when/if the points and status match turns up.

Tried to signup tonight for the third time. When I plugged in my details, it said I already had an account. So logged into it.

0 points and no activity. Supposedly that should change to 9000 within the next 3 days, or at least that's what the FT experts are saying. Others apparently saw the 9000 points pretty much straight away, so perhaps it has all gone wrong.

Edit: Logged out of my account on BMI, then re-clicked on the link from their homepage for the offer. Logged into my account on the offer screen, then confirmed all of my details again from what I had put in earlier and submitted. It then logged me into my BMI account with the following entry:

19/01/2008 BD Free Flight Offer - 9000 Miles Credit 0 0
19/01/2008 BD Free Flight Offer - 9000 Miles Credit 0 0

So according to the BMI experts, this will convert to 9000 points overnight/in the next few days.
