My other half was a bit aggro with me a couple of xmas ago when I bought online 50 CD/DVDs, mostly multiples of the same range too, that had a 500pt bonus as part of a local supermarkets frequent shopper scheme. These you could transfer to BA's scheme. When I did, they had a promo on too of doubling the value of your transfer.

Last month we flew J LHR/EZE-GIG/LHR and he is far less resistant now to me signing him up to various card schemes etc, but might draw the line at a pure MR!!

I think the good times are becoming less at the supermarket. Far fewer promos like that. There was a 10 times points on a new credit card here for 3 months. I got 75,000 miles, but some got close to or over 1 million!!

Same here. I infected her with the J-Class Virus, Lounges and Fast Track. She now understands that I book connecting flights to weird destinations, that I come home at night after a business meeting that ended at noon, because I took a little "detour" on the way back. Sometimes I just receive a "you are crazy" that I reply with "yes, you knew that before and it is one of the reasons that you married me!"

She loves her shiny cards - QF-PG from me and a self flown LH-Silver.

For MRs together I just tell her that we need a weekend together. She gets a choice of destinations and I book the flights. So never pure MRs but milage optimized weekend trips or holidays.

All it takes is one experience in F, followed by a lengthy flight in Y or J .... and all efforts to maintain status are supported!
