Dear O F Why not take a break this festive season If you fancy taking a break over the festive period but you're a few miles short for your trip, whether skiing in Switzerland or enjoying the markets in Brussels, bmi has the offer you've been waiting for. When you buy destinations miles between 13 November and 31 December 2008, we'll give you an extra 10% of destinations miles for free. View terms and conditions This means you can buy 1,100 miles for just £12 or 9,900 for £108 – more than enough for a return flight to Belgium. Topping up is perfect if you have a holiday in mind, as you can use your miles on flights, hotel stays or car hire. You can also treat a friend to miles this festive season and reward them with 10% extra free. Terms and Conditions The offer to buy destinations miles and receive 10% extra free is only available through flybmi.com between 13 November and 30 December 2008. Any destinations miles purchased will be credited to the Diamond Club account up to 7 days after purchase. Any destinations miles earned for gift purchases will be credited to the Diamond Club account within 90 days following the purchase. bmi will automatically delete/remove any duplicate/surplus applications and or duplicate miles added. Standard Diamond Club terms and conditions apply. bmi Diamond Club reserves the right to change or alter this promotion at any time. To ensure you receive our bmi Diamond Club emails, please add bmidiamondclub <at> bmi-news <dot> com to your address book or safe list now. |
Sadly, I did not get this mail (makes a change - not!), but it does mention it on the buy miles page.
Even more sadly, I have already purchased my maximum for the year, and the system remembered it. So this offer is just a tease for me, unless anyone knows how this may be got around (other than by getting Mrs. 20-Horse to buy them for me!). Regards 20-Horse |
Remember that Miles & More miles are worth substantially less than Diamond Club miles (45,000 for a same-day return in Europe, anyone?) so I wouldn't buy miles unless you are 100% sure you will use them during 2009.

Taken from here: Purchase award miles for yourself or others - the following packages are available: Euro Miles €60 2,000 miles €115 4,000 miles €160 6,000 miles €205 8,000 miles €245 10,000 miles €290 12,000 miles |
Thanks for the tip, I tried gifting to myself, and got the message, you cannot gift to yourself, maybe I was doing something wrong.
Regards 20-Horse |
If you've already bought 20k for yourself then you are limited to 60k in gifts as the maximum total for a 12 month period is 80k.
So Mrs 20-Horse can buy you a further 60k and you can in turn buy her either the full 80k if she hasn't purchased any for herself, or 60k if she's already bought 20k. |
Is it really the case that one account can gift you 60k? I've heard that 20k is the limit for any account to gift another specific account too. So you need 3 friends to get the 60k. Is that right?

Mrs 20-Horse is a silver (thanks to my kind generosity being over 55K last year) and I have just talked her into a BMI plus AMEX, in the hope that she will spend enough on my Christmas pressies to get the miles. Those should boost her upto 100K, so I shall be looking at her to fund the next redemption maybe! Regards 20-Horse |
Do the bonus miles post at the same time as the miles bought or do they post at a later date?

Any single account can transfer upto 80k in a year, be it to a single account or split between multiple accounts. |
