It'll either be that (although you'd think bmi ceasing to exist would be a decent enough get out clause) or the card is proving to be a nice little earner for BA and so they're keeping it - but at arms length as they'll presumably have an exclusivity deal with Amex.
What do those on here think most likely? Also if it's contractual anyone got an idea when the contract will run out.

If the route detailed here doesn't get you to the "Combine my Avios" link, try updating your BAEC personal details so all the data (especially date of birth) is completed. We've had reports before that the combine link is notg active if you've got incomplete personal details.

Well the email addresses don't have to be the same, my addresses are different and my transfers have all gone ok. Physical address is the same though!

+1. I have different e-mail addresses on my DC and BAEC accounts and the transfer function works fine : it happily sends me 2 different e-mails on transfer completion.

Looks like it's no longer possible to sign up for the bmi credit card.
If you click the link on the homepage you get a 404 and the credit card section has been removed from 'loyalty programmes' (it's still mentioned under offers but the links go nowhere).

(My physical and email addresses don't match, and I've made a number of transfers OK).

It might even be something as simple as they've temporarily suspended applications while they rebrand it the Diamond Club credit card when bmi ceases to exist in a few days.
