Free flight on BMI for signing up for ff program

[Carolinian Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close Carolinian]

One of Europe's most generous ff programs, Diamond Club of BMI, is offering 9,000 free miles just to sign up. That enough for a free round trip flight within much of western Europe on BMI or any of its Star Alliance partners.

I don't know how long this will last, but I was able to sign up for myself, my wife, my son, and my daughter-in-law.

I ran into this by luck, as the hotel where we are booked for a business conference was only affiliated with BMI and Aer Lingus, so I thought I would check them out. Actually, their hotel awards are not bad either, as I get 1,000 miles per night of my hotel stay.

The website is cheap flights from the uk, Europe and worldwide | bmi

I went to the site and it appears they are NOW only offering 4500 miles, enough for a one way ticket.

Yes, I was just on the site myself and this is what it says:

Join diamond club, the UK's most generous frequent flyer scheme, and we'll give you enough miles for a free one way flight.
(only one enrolment per individual will be accepted)

I don't think I could have used it anyway, but I thought I'd sign up "just in case."

Thanks for posting.
