Bit of a quick fix for a wiki until someone has the time to fill it in, but here's a good place to look for an update on the 7 cards in existence:

FWIW, my April statement, which included some spend on ba.com, showed no bonus miles : got exactly 2x total spend.

Are you implying that I have made this up?
I got bonus miles from the Nov/Dec thingy in January after I queried with MBNA marketing. What I have highlighted here are bonus miles that came through after I made a change to a booking at the beginning of April (and the change was done over the phone). Whatever it was has come through automatically on the statement with no manual intervention from anyone.

There is no further bonus promotion that I am aware of, and certainly nothing in respect to BA. I'm personally getting the 2.5 miles per pound we have all be discussing in this thread and nothing more.

Same issue here! I last used my old fee-free bmi M/C card back in June/July where as you say they posted near-instantly on the day of the statement. Since hearing about the increase to 2 miles per GBP I've put more spend on the card (seemed better than 1% cashback with Barclaycard formerly egg). My April statement showed the correct number of miles, but these appear to have gone AWOL as happed to you, paulieuk.
I called MBNA and apart from the rep asking me THREE times if I was looking at diamondclub.org (I kept explaining that yes I was and that I could see the previous miles posted from Summer 2012!) I'm hoping for a similar resolution to you - they've certainly put a request in to the backoffice team but that was on Saturday so don't expect to hear anything until the end of the week at the earliest.

I hope and trust you're soon reunited with your points too EDIflyer. It was quicker than the time they quoted with me in the end.

I just had a text from MBNA saying:
"Your bmi Credit Card ending XXXX: you'll get a letter in the next few days telling you about changes to your product benefits, for example, we've increased the number of destination miles you earn on card purchases"
So looks like it wasn't a glitch!

Nope definitely not - when on the phone to them recently (about April points not posting) the rep was keen to stress the increased earnings rate! Long may it continue!!

It's a funny old world when bmi-branded products improve a year after the airline popped its clogs.

Iv also had the text, my guess is that mbna have a large amount of bmi miles that are bought and paid for, now that the card is no longer offered, they don't need miles for new card applications. I'd also guess that a decent wedge of customers have binned the cards or simply stopped using them as this might be a good way of encouraging spend on mbna cards.
I do seem to remember suggesting in another thread some time ago that it might be a good idea to keep the mbna cards going and see what mbna do in the future

Bmi credit card "enhancements" - May 2013
Just got the following text from MBNA:
"Your bmi Credit Card ending 9999: you'll get a letter in the next few days telling you about changes to your product benefits, for example, we've increased the number of destination miles you earn on card purchases."
I had heard about the extra points on here, but I wonder what else?
