"If you purchase a ticket on a flight that is marketed by bmi but operated by another airline (known as a code-share flight), the operating airline determines how many miles you earn for your flight. "

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Unfortunately, they are all on routes (such as LHR-TXL) that are operated exclusively by BD (unlike, say, LHR-MXP which is split 50/50 between BD and their German masters).

Good fares, though (http://www.flybmi.com/bmi/en-gb/spec...SaleFlashMar11)!
