BMI buy miles 20% bonus - (now - 30 June 2012)

Hi guys,

just playing around on the BMI website and noticed there's a 20% bonus on purchased miles (up to maximum 24000 total) at the moment.

It says it's for the week of Jan 16th-22nd, but seems available right now.

I wonder if they're going to have a blowout mileage sale, something like a 40 or 50% bonus, shortly before the IAG sale completes....?

typical - bought some miles last night and there was no bonus. Still kicking myself for not taking advantage of the 50% off sale.

oh well, at least I got the redemption I wanted which is the main thing.

It's on the buy miles page if you go through to it once you log in.

I would not actually purchase them until the 16th if I were you guys, just to make sure. Amazing there is another promo - and I had to buy 9000 miles last week to make up for a shortfall for my 'last' redemption. Im now tempted to make another 'last' redemption and buy some more.

I'm very tempted myself, but as you've said, I think I'll leave it until tomorrow, just to be sure!

Is anyone still seeing this? If I log in and go to the 'buy miles' page I don't see any bonus at all.

Yes, it's still there.

"Buy Miles" then "Buy Miles for You", and hey presto!

Very strange. I've just bought 20,000 miles and have received a 20% (4,000 miles) bonus.

Interestingly enough, I just received the email below from the DC. Maybe the 20% bonus is therefore targeted?


Dear GASUG

Thank you for buying or gifting destinations miles in 2011!

As a special thank you we'd like to help you earn even more miles this year to get to wherever you want to visit even faster. Buy miles before 22 January 2012 and you will automatically receive a 20% bonus on the number of miles you purchased.

Targeted? It would seem so. My account was the only one to get the email, and my account is the only one that the deal comes up on when you go to "Buy Destination Miles", the rest are priced as normal.

Targeted to members who bought in December? members with two heads? randomly picked by the Donington Hall ghost?

Working now!

With 20% off. Different computer and browser - seems to fall over with Chrome on the transfer to points.com for the buy transaction.
