1 HOW IT WORKS

Watch the benefits build up diamond club is bmi’s frequent flyer programme. Whenever you travel on qualifying fares with bmi or another Star Alliance airline, you’ll earn two kinds of miles: membership status and destinations miles. Membership status miles are simply used to determine your level of membership – you start at blue, and move on to silver and then gold. Whereas destinations miles are the ones you can spend on rewards for yourself. Earn free flights faster You can also clock up miles by staying at bmi partner hotels, renting a car with Hertz and using a bmi MBNA credit card. You can earn free flights more quickly than with other airlines and improve your membership status faster, too.
