Buying DC Miles
Has anyone actually managed to purchase additional miles on the website?
Everytime I click on the link to purchase miles, the page only loads halfway and thats as far as I get.
Been trying now for days without sucess-mentioned this to the DC call centre when I was booking an award ticket but the agent couldn't help.
Anyone know if there is a number I can call or mail to request this

Have you tried something as basic as using a different computer? There may be something in your set-up which prevents the pages loading properly.

Hi, I understand that some posters have been able to buy and gift DC miles. Like many others, I have not been able to complete the process on the DC website.
I am 500 miles short for an award and would like to know if anyone would be willing to gift me 1000 miles, since they have been able to do so earlier? I would transfer the cost to you beforehand so there would be no risk involved for you.
When I try to purchase miles it says 1,000 miles = £0.12, which I assume is an error since posters mentioned that 1,000 miles = £12 + £15 in transaction fees. I only require 1,000 miles and would transfer £27 to your account if you are interested in helping me out. Send me a PM.
Kind regards, galaba

I've been unable to purchase for over a fortnight, using a variety of different cards. All were AMEX however and, as soon as I tried a MasterCard the other day, all was well and the transaction went straight through.
Bit of a blinder now that the bmi card is, er, AMEX

I never really paid attention to this feature but it's amazing !
20K miles are 255 GBP and for 25K plus cash I get a oneway F LAX-FRA on LH.
What a bargain ! About 500 GBP for a oneway F ticket ^

I know a lot of places won't accept American Express but its a bit of a bad do when even BMI won't accept accept a BMI Amex Card
