This a really dumb question, but I can't seem to get a clear answer from searching FT, owing to the similarity / interchangeability of the terms;

I've just noticed (duh) that my Royal Bank of Scotland credit card generates AirMiles (as in "The AirMiles Company"); I am joining BAEC and getting the BA Amex PP. Can my AirMiles collected so far be used in any way with the BAmiles that I plan to start collecting?

No flaming please!
