bmi diamond club - Hello and what do you think........

Hi its good to find a group of like minded BD points collectors. Can anyone see a problem with renting a car from Avis (triple points before the end of the month) and picking up 4500 miles for £42.12 (Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 from 11 till 4 Mon 30th)
Seems a good deal. Is there a snag?

Seems like a very good deal, all things considered.

I'd just confirm with the reservations agent that the rate qualifies for miles. It ought to, but there's no harm in asking - how disappointed would you be if it didn't qualify?

To get triple miles you will need to book it online (link from the Diamond Club site). Only get double miles for telephone booking.

I can confirm that you get 4500 destination miles, once a booking is made through the bmi website. Extract from my online statement for one hire from Bristol (made up for travelling with Easyjet http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif)and one from Heathrow:

18/06/2003 AV CCC - A21 3000 0
18/06/2003 AV CCC - BRS 1500 0
20/06/2003 AV CCC - A21 3000 0
20/06/2003 AV CCC - LHR 1500 0

The hire at Bristol was £49.12, the LHR one was seventy-something (better class of car and I ticked the extra insurance etc.)
