The end of BMI diamond club

I received a letter from BMI today, announcing the end of the vestiges of BMI Airlines.

BMI  were taken over by British Airways – or IAG (international Airline Group), earlier this year although BMI Regional still operate a network of flights

The BMI Diamond club scheme is now, to all intents and purposes, dead.

However, if you hold the BMI American Express Card, you will continue to earn BMI destination miles which you can convert to British Airways Avios at a rate of 1 for 1

This is good news because the BMI credit card rewards miles at a rate of 1.5 per £1 spend which is pretty generous.

So I, for one, will continue to put everything I can on my BMI Amex card for the foreseeable future.
