BMI offering 20,000 miles

My apologies if this has been mentioned already but I've been away for a few days. At the airport I was approached and offered a BMI credit card which would give me 20000 miles or a free trip in Europe. It seems that all you need to do is spend £250 on the card in the first 90 days. I didn't get all the information, perhaps someone else knows more about it.

    Apology accepted :cool:

    Of course, you still have to pay the tax on the flight (around £40). And with bmi's 'Tiny' fares, it barely seems worth it when it saves you around £50

    Is the £250 minimum spend a new thing? When I looked into this card about a year ago, all you needed to do was use it once to get the 20000 points.

    Think it must be. I didnt have to spend that. It was only after your first transaction.

    Have a look at their miles and cash options, some really good deals that way.

  • Must be new as again we only had to spend on them, i think i spent a couple of quid on it. The taxes can be quite high though.

    There is a travel link about the use of this card HERE
