NOT TRUE! Per flybmi.com, membership is open only to residents of the UK, Ireland, Belgium, France, Netherlands and Spain.

BD still flies to Chicago and Las Vegas in the USA, but it does NOT officially allow US residents to join Diamond Club. It also flies to Antigua, Barbados, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Switzerland. Residents of these countries are not officially eligible to join. So why does BD not allow residents of those countries to join?
