A few friendly suggestions about your use of terminology. AFAIK, BMI only has 'Gold', not 'Platinum Gold'. 'SA' would be taken by most to mean the airline code for South African Airways, one of the members of the Star Alliance. Obviously you meant for 'SA' to indicate 'Star Alliance', but with the confusion it can generate, most of us use '*A' to abbreviate 'Star Alliance', with the '*' indicating a 'star'.
