Firstly, I got post today. And when it says “Diamond Club” on the envelope, I started to wonder what BA/BMI is up to.
Well – it was this:
Well for starters, it’s a new Diamond Club card, with a few changes. Firstly, there’s a BMI Logo (that’s a bit late…), and secondly in the top left corner, the Star Alliance logo is gone, with a simple “Gold” left in its place.
This also came with a letter, and this is as good time to remind you all of some deadlines:
- Access to Star Alliance Lounges and other facilities ends on 31st May
- Earning on Star Alliance Airlines ends on 31st May (LH Group airlines are excluded)
- Redemptions on Star Alliance airlines ends on the 31st May
- From the 1st of June, any formal association that BMI and Star Alliance is dissolved and you’ll get no love for a Diamond Club Card
- BMI Diamond Club to Avois conversions begins 3rd July
So here’s the BIG REMINDER IN LARGE LETTERS.
Indeed. My hold time for my last three calls to the Gold line was exactly 0 minutes, 0 seconds. Come the end of the month, thing will get messy once again. Thankfully, I am down to 1,200 miles and done burning!
