Tahnks to FlyerTalk, I now have a brand new DC account with 9000 miles to spend!

I've done some FT searches regarding my questions, but many of the threads are dated before the introduction of the present double dipping scheme at HHonors, so please allow me to ask for updated information.

From http://www.flybmi.com/bmi/src/html/d...earnmiles.html it looks like I can quickly increase my bmi miles by future stays at cheap Hampton Inns (1000 miles per night up to 3000 miles). This seems too good to be true, have I missed something?!?

If the above really holds: Since the HHonors page http://hhonors1.hilton.com/en_US/hh/...ubledipping.do doesn't include bmi in the list of participating airlines for points+variable miles, should I pick points+fixed miles with bmi dc as my earning preference (despite the statement "100 miles at Hampton")?
