It sounds like it. Mine appeared instantly upon first login immediately after registering to the bmi website.

You sure you got the promo code correct?
Mine also showed as soon as I registered did not have to wait.

Early morning when I registered myself, the bmi Member ID's were in the 10013406xxx range, and now when I registered a family member, the ID's are in the 10013566xxx range. Yikes! :cool: Over 160,000 accounts in less than 16 hours. Priority Club 2.0? :td:

I gave a made up birthdate in creating the BMI account. I don't have a birthdate on my BA account but am now Leary of putting in the made up one on BA as you said it can't be changed online and I don't want to mess up my BA account for future flight.

Appreciate any advice

I don't know exactly what your asking? But why did you put a fake birthday on your BMI account?

Put your real birthday on your BA account, then make a new BMI account (new email address) with your real birthday. Ta Da

Nope. I had the same experience last night. Had to create a new account which worked.

It's quite likely that they have a check digit or two on there. I wouldn't assume that they're issuing consecutive ID numbers.

I didn't see the s in the URL that said the site was secure. I also noticed that BA also doesn't have the s. I hope birth dates and passport numbers are secure.

Thanks, Happy. Glad to know it's not just me. I'll give it another shot tomorrow.

Do you think it will look suspicious if I create another account and get another 1,000 points even though I will not be using the original one with wrong birth date?

No, won't look suspicious at all. Unless they check in which case it will. Just tell them you are American and cannot get dates around the correct way except on the customs declaration form. :)

I see what your saying. I did not put my passport #. But I do have my birthday.

You can sign up for multiple BMI Diamond Club accounts in your own name (of course with different emails) and transfer all those miles to your BA. How risky is this?
Really? You are offered a free 1000 Avios and you still want more?

BA won't let me just put in my birthday. It wants the passport number and expiration dates. How did you manage to just put in your b/day?
