I haven't got this offer :D

Nor me :D

(And really, come on... did you expect me to get it first? The amount of US airways/UA transactions in my account might force BMI to send this to me...)

Nor me, nor did I get the September one.

Starting to feel a bit left out now......

Nor me, nor did I get the September one.

I'm also starting to feel a bit left out now......

Nor me. And I'm not one to moan ;)

Mine has just arrived.

I'm feeling important and wanted now.

I'm feeling important and wanted now.

Unlike the non-moaning ajamieson who is unimportant and unwanted :p

Got it but I won't be flying anywhere with bmi in October.

Got the offer (even though when clicking on registration it brings up a thank you screen that also has a button to click 'register'; when I click on that it asks me for member number, password and promo code :confused:, I assume as it said thank you I am now registered).

Does the offer mean that if you do 1 business class return you get triple miles on all your bmi flights in October or just for that one flight?




This offer is only available to the named recipient of this email and is non transferable. Only one application per named recipient will be accepted irrespective of the number of qualifying flights made during the qualifying period, bmi will automatically delete/remove any duplicate/surplus applications and or duplicate miles added. To qualify for double destinations miles you must fly one return bmi operated flight (two one way flights), excluding codeshare, redemption award and bmibaby flights, on an economy fare type. Economy fare types include: economy sale, economy saver and economy flexible. All flights must be registered on your Diamond Club account and taken between 1 - 31 October 2008. To qualify for triple destinations miles you must fly one return bmi flight (two one way flights), excluding codeshare, redemption award and bmibaby flights, on a business fare type. Business fare types include: business sale, business saver and business flexible. All flights must be registered on your Diamond Club account and taken between 1 - 31 October 2008. All miles earned from this promotion will be credited to your Diamond Club account by 14 November 2008 as one credit and are non transferable. Any retrospective claims submitted /credited to your Diamond Club account after 30 November 2008 for flights taken during the qualifying period will not change the level of miles earned under this promotion. Standard Diamond Club terms and conditions apply. bmi Diamond Club reserves the right to change or alter this promotion at any time.

Just a shame that there is no business class on the MAN to Heathrow route... even though the fully flexible economy ticket is almost the same price.

It's not really clear from the T&Cs, but I'm assuming that for C class, "Triple" doesn't mean 3x (2x Miles), but actually means 2x Miles + 1x Miles.......... so 50% more than normal (and not what I'd normally think of as "Triple")

I'm going to join the queue and whinge that I don't have this promo. :(

I got it, I got it. :) A pity it wasn't double status miles though. ;)

Tis my life to be at the end of queues.....I didn't get it either:(

Having received none of the last few offers I got this one - triple for me. As Swanhunter says, triple status miles would have been more useful for me right now too. Bloody hell, we're never happy, are we?! :D

I didnt get it nor the September one. I suspect that once you get to the 55K threshold, incentives to travel more cost BMI twice as much ?

Surely these promotions are designed both to increase your amount of flying with bmi and to increase your assets with them, so that should there by any change in ownership or change to DC, you'll still feel tied to them.

In other words, I wonder if they target those with fewer miles in their accounts?

In other words, I wonder if they target those with fewer miles in their accounts?

Status miles maybe (i.e. not the over 55k crowd) but I don't think so with regards to destination miles. I would say that those with flights galore booked would be excluded, as might those making use of the last promotion. All purely hypothetical though.

Personally I'm not signing up to this in case I miss out on future promos for being active on this one. I have a MAN-ORD-MAN in December, so if there is a December promo, that will do nicely ;)

I haven't got it yet either, although I did get the September one. I haven't booked any flights for the Sept on yet (which ends Oct 13)...still debating whether its worth it or not to do a DUB-LHR run. I wonder if actually doing for the flying for the promos increases or decreases your chances of getting the next promo?

As an aside a December promo would be really useful but I can't see much chance of that happneing!

In other words, I wonder if they target those with fewer miles in their accounts?

Just a statement of Jenna's Law

"The probability of receiving an invitation is in inverse proportion to the juiciness of the promotion and your loyalty and spend with bmi" :D

I noticed that I get some promotion on my very old e-mail account which I used when I joined DC and some on my new e-mail account to which I changed 2 year ago.

Sometimes I get the same offer on both and when we had the personlised offers a while back one was different from the other.

Marketing in BD is I think run by a magic eight ball.

I got it, I got it. :) A pity it wasn't double status miles though. ;)

Dream on!:D Wouldn't we all like a boost to status miles. I'd give away my 100,000+ destination miles (it sounds like its too hard to get value for them) for a couple of years of gold, so I can use the lounge instead of a corridor when I fly with partner airlines, since there is only 1 BD destination ex Dublin:(.

Offer has just arrived and duly signed up as I know I've got 2 returns in that time period already.

Will I get triple miles on my SAA to JNB :confused:

Got the offer (even though when clicking on registration it brings up a thank you screen that also has a button to click 'register'; when I click on that it asks me for member number, password and promo code :confused:, I assume as it said thank you I am now registered).


I get the same problem. I am assuming I am registered, but is it safer to phone the calll cetre as well? And can they do the registering?

The call centre will have no clue about this whatsoever. Consider yourself registered and if you have any problems post the promo period, then ask diamond club to help, although I'm sure it won't be necessary.

The good news is I've just received the offer ^:), the bad news is it's somewhat (an understatement) more onerous :mad::

Fly with bmi this autumn and you could benefit from two great offers to earn bonus miles from Diamond Club. All you have to do is register for this exclusive offer and fly the specified number of return flights with bmi over the next 10 weeks.

Plus, if you fly with bmi on a Business fare* you'll receive an additional bonus of 3,000 destinations miles for each return flight you take. View details of what to expect when flying in Business here.

It couldn't be easier to register and qualify. Simply take:

7 return flights with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive double destinations miles.

Or

9 or more return flights with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive triple destinations miles.



Basically, to get the triple miles I have to take a return flight every week for 10 weeks..... :(:mad:

There's the added benefit of an extra 3,000 miles for each return business flight, but it isn't easy to do that between LBA and LHR!

Yes, it really couldn't be easier to qualify could it? :rolleyes:

The booby prize in the raffle for you I'm afraid.

I've just received a similar offer, except my requirements are 5 / 7 returns for double / triple. Also, the business offer for me is Plus, if you fly with bmi on a Business fare* you'll receive an additional bonus of 4,000 miles made up of 2,000 destinations miles and 2,000 status miles for each return flight you take.

The combination for me is:
1 / 3 for double / triple
3,000 destination-only bonus miles for a business return

Perhaps bmi marketing is intelligent. I never get the offer for months where I have any bmi flights already booked in advance. But I haven't been on a bmi plane for 6 weeks, and have nothing booked, and they give me a relatively easy target...

Paging LiviLion :D

Paging LiviLion :D

He won't see this for a while....he'll probably be on one of his many domestic flights as we speak.

The combination for me is:
1 / 3 for double / triple
3,000 destination-only bonus miles for a business return

Mine is similar:
1 / 3 returns for double/triple miles.

plus: 2,000 destination and 2,000 status miles for a business return.

I wonder how many variations there are and who gets what? I've never flown BD!

I didnt get it nor the September one. I suspect that once you get to the 55K threshold, incentives to travel more cost BMI twice as much ?

Just got the
1 return flight with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive double destinations miles.
Or 3 or more return flights with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive triple destinations miles.

I guess trick is not to book online .. i have to go through company travel website

:) I just received the offer as well. Suited very well as I well have 5 1/2 return flights in the period with BMI which is unusal for me.:cool:

Thought I'd add my variant to the thread, in case anyone can spot a pattern here with the combinations;

Simply take:
4 return flights with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive double destinations miles. Or
6 or more return flights with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive triple destinations miles.
Plus, if you fly with bmi on a Business fare* you'll receive an additional bonus of 3,000 destinations miles for each return flight you take.

Probably based on past travel with BMI, I'd have taken 4 returns in 2 1/2 months in any case. 6 is pushing it a bit.

Wish I'd got the double status miles one. 2x domestic economy from MAN is pretty worthless:td:

Also received - but noticed an error in the process...

Fly 4 return flights with bmi between 1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive double destinations miles.
Or
6 or more return flights with bmi between 1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive triple destinations miles.

Received the offer finally and noticed the same issue. My work around was to log into the BD website first and then click on the link.

Terms and Conditons
This offer is only available to the named recipient of this email and is non transferable. Only one application per named recipient will be accepted irrespective of the number of qualifying flights made during the qualifying period, bmi will automatically delete/remove any duplicate/surplus applications and or duplicate miles added.

the offer to me was double miles for one economy return flight and triple miles for one biz return flight - judging by the terms and conditions though even though ive three biz flights in october i'll only get triple miles for one of those flights

i find that a bit miserable and not very motivating to book further flights

Received the offer finally and noticed the same issue. My work around was to log into the BD website first and then click on the link.

Having tried to register, neither of these work arounds has allowed me to register. Very frustsrating as I would fly bmi specifically to hit this promotion :(

I got the below:

" 1 return flight with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive double destinations miles.

Or

3 or more return flights with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive triple destinations miles."

Registration worked clicking the link from my Nokia N71, and for the first time this year I will make it... I have 4 RTN's that I booked in the sale LHR-DUB anyway, so no need to adjust any plans to qualify...

tht

Just got the promo

8 return flights with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 on an Economy Flexible fare and receive double destinations miles.

Or

10 or more return flights with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 on an Economy Flexible fare and receive triple destinations miles.

They must be forecasting future flying based on the last few weeks and extrapolating!

Anyone got more than 10?

Having tried to register, neither of these work arounds has allowed me to register. Very frustsrating as I would fly bmi specifically to hit this promotion :(

Just received this on e-mail: I assume that Joanna may have prompted this, due to so many problems with registering. I sucessfully registered this time and will now book some bmi flights ^

Dear Mr NoY,

We recently emailed you with an offer to earn even more miles when flying with bmi in October and we don't want you to miss out. So we've extended registration for this offer and you now have until 8 October to register your interest. View terms and conditions

Please note if you've registered for this promotion previously, please register again as we've experienced some technical issues.

It couldn't be easier to qualify for your bonus destinations miles, simply take:

One return flight with bmi on an Economy fare* between
1 - 31 October 2008 and you'll receive double destinations miles.

Or

One return flight with bmi on a Business fare** between
1 - 31 October 2008 and you'll receive triple destinations miles.

I haven't got any new offer :(
I am expecting to be flying to Saudi a few times in the coming months and this would have been a particularly convincing way of ensuring I was on BD metal... as well as allowing the odd GUV on it too ;)

Dear GoldCircle

I STILL haven't received any November offer. I received, in error, the offer to join DC, though as per previous posting I am 7 yrs Gold. Any chance of those of us who were on the wrong mailing list getting this offer?!? I am actually flying soon and could really do with 2x or 3x status miles!!
Would anyone care to PM me the EMID from the links, so that I can try the link with my BD # and see if I'm valid for it? It could just be their front end emailing that is so c*cked up!

Cheers

Bah, Humbug :D

Threads merged to align the miles postings with the offer.

At Xmas time, just pause and spare a kind thought for those poor, destitute members who didn't get this offer in the first place. :(

Sadly I only made 3 returns in that period as I was told to cut down on travel by the wife.

So was I, and I did...:D

Only got double, but 60K plus :D

We're delighted to tell you that you've earned triple destinations miles for all bmi flights taken between 1 October - 10 December 2008.

You've also qualified for 2,000 destinations miles and 2,000 status miles for each one way flight you've taken with bmi in Business between 1 October - 10 December 2008. View terms and conditions

Quite an few extra flights for me in this period including 3 return business flights. I am expecting quite a haul with points. None have arrived.

Maybe Santa Claus will bring them tomorrow.

Merry Christmas:eek:

Just received the miles, but only received for one business flight, yet I had six!

Maybe tomorrow!!!

Also received miles as two postings - which tipped my gf to Silver territory for another year. During the promo we flew back biz from JER which netted 1,600 miles for the flight and 2,000 bonus miles. Not bad for £95.

Now if I had flown six business classtrips shouldn't I get 6 x 2000 miles status miles and 6 x 2000 miles status?
