Having received none of the last few offers I got this one - triple for me. As Swanhunter says, triple status miles would have been more useful for me right now too. Bloody hell, we're never happy, are we?!

Surely these promotions are designed both to increase your amount of flying with bmi and to increase your assets with them, so that should there by any change in ownership or change to DC, you'll still feel tied to them.
In other words, I wonder if they target those with fewer miles in their accounts?

Personally I'm not signing up to this in case I miss out on future promos for being active on this one. I have a MAN-ORD-MAN in December, so if there is a December promo, that will do nicely

I haven't got it yet either, although I did get the September one. I haven't booked any flights for the Sept on yet (which ends Oct 13)...still debating whether its worth it or not to do a DUB-LHR run. I wonder if actually doing for the flying for the promos increases or decreases your chances of getting the next promo?
As an aside a December promo would be really useful but I can't see much chance of that happneing!

"The probability of receiving an invitation is in inverse proportion to the juiciness of the promotion and your loyalty and spend with bmi"

I noticed that I get some promotion on my very old e-mail account which I used when I joined DC and some on my new e-mail account to which I changed 2 year ago.
Sometimes I get the same offer on both and when we had the personlised offers a while back one was different from the other.
Marketing in BD is I think run by a magic eight ball.

Dream on! Wouldn't we all like a boost to status miles. I'd give away my 100,000+ destination miles (it sounds like its too hard to get value for them) for a couple of years of gold, so I can use the lounge instead of a corridor when I fly with partner airlines, since there is only 1 BD destination ex Dublin

I get the same problem. I am assuming I am registered, but is it safer to phone the calll cetre as well? And can they do the registering?

The call centre will have no clue about this whatsoever. Consider yourself registered and if you have any problems post the promo period, then ask diamond club to help, although I'm sure it won't be necessary.

The good news is I've just received the offer ^
, the bad news is it's somewhat (an understatement) more onerous 
:
Basically, to get the triple miles I have to take a return flight every week for 10 weeks.....
There's the added benefit of an extra 3,000 miles for each return business flight, but it isn't easy to do that between LBA and LHR!
, the bad news is it's somewhat (an understatement) more onerous :

It couldn't be easier to register and qualify. Simply take:
7 return flights with bmi between

Or
9 or more return flights with bmi between
1 October - 10 December 2008 and receive triple destinations miles.
