For those of you still with Diamond Club, another redemption partner will be closing its door soon.
Qatar Airways has posted that is withdrawing earn and burn on BMI from 28th Octotber (the date where all BMI aircraft should be operating on BA certificates)
According to Qatar Airways:
This is to inform you that effective 28th October 2012, British Midland Airlines will no longer be our Airline Partner. Therefore, Privilege Club members can no longer earn Qmiles or request an award ticket on bmi from 28th October 2012.
If you have flown with bmi on or prior to 27th October 2012 and still haven’t received your Qmiles, you can claim for these Qmiles up to six months from your date of travel.
Award tickets requested for travel on or beyond 28th October 2012 must be issued by 27th October 2012. Any changes to the tickets will not be permitted from 28th October 2012 onwards.
Please note that in the event a bmi flight number is changed to another airline flight number,you will not be able to earn Qmiles for travel on this flight or request for redemption even if travel date is before 27th October 2012.
