bmi Diamond Club has very generous mileage redemption rates, which is one of the main features about the program. You can also redeem cash and miles to halve the number of miles requires. A business class round trip ticket from North America to Europe for example is 37,500 miles + cash.
There are no blackouts to redemptions unlike on UA. You do however pay fuel surcharges which can make costs eye watering for some people who are used to redeeming via the US carriers who don't charge the YQ. Worth investigating, but it may not be for you.
At 2k per night over a 3 month period, a semi-regular traveller can get a pretty good redemption ticket earned via the bmi bonus miles though. Worth using with the free night certificates earned in Q1 and Q2 perhaps?
