Thanks for the info. I didn't know there were 2 FF fields. Does this mean that I could theoretically have my MP number in the reservation for flight benefits and status and at the same time earn miles to my bmi account?

Would I earn MQMs in this situation? Would my flights "count" when they are considering people for GS? I had given up hope on GS when I decided to credit all F flights to bmi, but this gives me new hope!
