I find BA Gold particularly pointless for my wanderings in SE Asia

Just dragging up this old post here.

I'll say this. I find BA gold particularly spectacular for my wanderings in SE Asia. This whole thing BD/Match/MH in OW panned out nicely for me.

Incidentally - i accidentally requalified for BA Gold even though i didn't need to. That's how much travel i put OW's way without trying. Star who?

Seriously, only BD/DC could have done this.

AIUI, more that MBNA and BA have reasons to get closer to keep others on their toes.

I always cringe when this thread gets a post...ESPECIALLY when it comes from the esteemed MAN Flyer. Glad one of us is still enjoying one of the last perks.

I cannot think of any airline or FFP that could, from the grave, increase the amount of miles you can earn but guess what - that exactly what has happened!.

Those of us that still have a Platinum BMI Mastercard are now earning a recently increased 2.5 miles per pound spent, an incredible amount for a Mastercard (or Visa). We can also now get double miles on BA spend, making it up to 5 miles per pound and they have also announced a 10% discount on BA flight paid for with the card.

Seriously, only BD/DC could have done this.

You are now supposed to use www.diamondclub.org and use your email address rather than DC number to log in, although it has been having a few teething problems.

DC IT problems to the bitter end...

"flybmi.com is no longer in use"

The page redirects to BA with that message up top.

RIP BMI

Has anyone been able to merge their DC miles into their BAEC account using the online tool (on the BA website)? I've tried several times and keep getting this error :

"Your session has timed out, please log in again"

Just last week. My own account and my dad's account. Two transfers, instant credit.

Do you have the same names in both accounts?

I did MAN-LHR at the beginning of the week on what I though could be my last BD flight and possibly last visit to the BD Lounge at MAN. We were flying to BCN and back and even though booked on BA.com and all on BA flight numbers it would not allow OLCI, due to the first flight being on BD metal, which is still causing problems accordiing to the BD staff at MAN. There was one other person in the BD lounge at MAN and about a dozen pax on the jungle jet down to LHR. Sad to see, although they had cancelled another two MAN-LHR flights as it appears they can't be bothered to operate a number of their slot sitters.

We got back to LHR fine from BCN yesterday lunch time but just as we got back to LHR last night to fly back to MAN we got an email advising our flight was cancelled. The options were, rebooked onto the 2130 BA flight from T5, which was probably going to be an hour late or book on the 2030 BD flight from T1. We chose the latter so got another BD flight and another, possibly final, visit to the BD domestic lounge at LHR T1.

I did find the irony of our BA flight being cancelled and being rebooked onto good old BD metal rather amusing. The fact that we were the only pax sat after row 12 on an A320 was also rather amusing. There are another two BD flights to MAN due to depart after ours left as well. The press would have a field day with these three quarter empty aircraft flying around.

For those who wish to do so, and if you have any miles left, you can now move your destination miles over to BA/Avios at 1:1.

The absolute end draws closer.

Do keep in mind, contrary to what was posted earlier, this is a one way transfer only. So if you want to utilize any of BD's remaining partners, you won't be able to move Avios to BMI.
