Same here. I just did it for my account fine, but when I tried it with my fiance's account there is no "combine my avios" option.

Could be related to the problems that people reported they are having.

Can you transfer individual BMI balance to accounts in a BAEC household account?

I am confused after reading the thread about the transferability.

It seems to me if you have a household account at BAEC, your BMI Diamond individual account balance cannot be transferred to the SAME individual account at BAEC that is a member of the household account.

Do I understand it correctly?

There's no issue transferring from a bmi individual a/c to a BAEC HHA - they just didn't word their FAQs very well!

So, technical issues aside, the transfer should be initiated from the BAEC HHA from each member, right? (assuming the issues would resolve themselves later.)

Oh great! Loads more people who don't even know what bmi is trying to squeeze every last mile out of it.

Make sure you have entered your date of birth.

Currently the conversion rate is 1:1 BMI mile to BA mile (Avios).

What's the consensus on how this rate might change in the future? Will it always be 1:1 or might it worsen?

I checked the "Manage my account" ... there is no question "date of birth"
May be we are US members?
