I agree that Air Miles is c**p nowadays.
The best thing they did was when BA Miles started you could transfer Air Miles at 1 to 14 BA Miles and 1 to 10 after a certain date.
It was a big disappointment when they stopped this feature.

(Down to about 4500 Air Miles and hoping to get it to 0!!)
(I have also noticed a big trade in paper Air Miles on E Bay UK.)
