I got my card (& tags) this this weekend. I like it (them) :D

Haha - that just made me laugh out very loud! :D I've been watching this thread with fascination and can't help thinking why it matters what the card looks like? BMI is not a huge and globally recognized airline by any means and you cannot blame lounge attendants at hubs or smaller airports where they only usually see 'their own' cards for looking twice at the card or question what BMI actually is (or now just 'Diamond Club') - but as long as you're essentially able to enjoy whatever perks come with the card, then what is the difference...?

We are talking about a card that is issued for various reasons, including operational purpose. So we are not talking about aesthetics but practicalities and design choices and related issues are totally relevant to use. Unless you take the view that making it easier or more difficult to make use of something is not relevant to discussion of that thing... |
Would anyone like to buy a left handed screwdriver?

That's just daft. You say you can't see why the appearance of the card is relevant and then mention access problems.
As for 'daft' - thanks for that value-added comment |

Easy now... BMI is a small and rather unknown airline to a lot of folks outside of their network - the design of their frequent flyer cards is hardly going to change that either way. In my humble opinion.

I got my pack in the post Saturday and while I cannot understand the lack of branding on the front side of the card (flybmi.com is on the reverse), I certainly didn't understand the plethora of postcards, each one explaining a perk of the Gold membership. Seems an inordinate waste of money and printing to me, as such they went straight into the recycling bin. But hey, thanks for the card and the perks. |
Mine landed in Bangkok Saturday so must have been sent a week before from UK or somewhere nearer to me perhaps. My company designs and makes this stuff and I can say that costs are about 3 pounds would be most likely rather than 10.
As far as the design is concerned, well someone signed it off and you get what you pay for design wise and quality wise. I have seen worse and I have seen better but if they are looking to cut costs then it is not too bad an effort as long as they did not spend 10 quid per set!! If you expect more then the budget is cut elsewhwere. This is one of the best FFP around but I do wonder about the expectaions of some members sometimes. Some where along the line someone has to pay for things so you have to balance things out. I hope that the new BMI is lean, fair and has employees who are both happy but realistice in keeping their jobs and offering a good service, whether they are customer facing or not Good luck |
What's going on?
It's only a so**ing membership card and luggage tags.:confused: |

There's a BMI logo on the rear of the card.

And anyway I'd just like to say it was a good job despite some minor issues. You can't please everyone all of the time but the pack that came through, the design, the +ve changes in the account benefits on the whole have really made a difference to the feel of DC. Much more professional ^
