Globalflight reports that
“bmi will terminate its Frequent Flyer Program Diamond Club towards June 2011 and merge it into the program of its new owner Lufthansa, Miles & More.”
Well we know about that BMI is on the verge of terminating it thanks to the investor speech Herr Prock-Schauer gave a few weeks ago.
There is some analysis on the cost of an EU redemption – however and perhaps more importantly, there is no reported source to this story.
This has stirred some debate in the running thread on Flyertalk with more questions being answered – an alas, none being answered.
Even the BMI Facebook thread has gone silent on the matter
So what should you do? My advice remains constant:
- Burn your miles now.
- Only buy miles if you need them.
- If you have family members with small pots of miles, merge them into family accounts
- If you’re qualifying for Star Alliance Gold or Silver, you need get it done and dusted for early next year latest.
More on this continuing mess as it breaks.
