Free flight just for joining BMI Diamond Club

Options
BMI are offering a free flight to destinations such as UK,Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Republic of Ireland and Switzerland. Way I see it, is if I join, and so does the wife, then that's a free flight each.

Seems completely free - money for nothing!

    Taxes do still need to be paid - but that's normally the case for most frequent flyer schemes, apart from the Airmiles/Lloyds Duo Mastercard offer that's currently on - it includes all taxes but you need to book a night in a hotel via airmiles, which isn't the cheapest.

    How do you get the free flight???
    I signed up for the Diamond Club and didnt get anything. Ther was nothing on the site stating that you get a free flight anyway.

    Did anyone get a free flight by just joining the Diamond Club??

    It takes time to come through - you get the miles credited to your account, but it doesn't happen instantly - it will happen though.

    The sites covered in references to the free flight. If you go to:

    http://www.flybmi.com/bmi/en-gb/index.aspx

    On the right hand side you'll see a box that starts with "Diamond Club, Free Flight Offer". If you click the link here it takes you to: http://www.flybmi.com/bmi/en-gb/reward-schemes/diamond-club/diamond-club.aspx
    at the bottom of which theres a box which says "Join diamond club, the UK's most generous frequent flyer scheme, and we'll give you enough miles for a free flight."

    Theres also a link which gives you the terms and conditions for the free flight at:
    http://www.flybmi.com/bmi/en-gb/reward-schemes/diamond-club/promotions/free-flight-terms-and-conditions.aspx

    The miles will be added, mine were...it just doesn't happen instantly.

    It's not technically a 'free flight' - it's 9000 miles which, amongst other things, could be used for a 'free' flight (i.e. just pay taxes) within Europe.

    hope that makes sense.

    Has been discussed a few times on this board recently.

    Best used in conjunction with the BMI/MBNA Amex 20k miles introductory offer.
