FREE flights with BMI baby

Apply for a BMI baby credit card and after its first use you can apply for a free flight
http://www.bmibaby.com/bmibaby/en/cbhome.aspx?&LinkID=62&cam=78 .

If me and the wife applied for one that should make 2 free flights (hopefully on the same aircraft)

Seems good to me , time will tell.

On the internet you can be anything you want.It`s strange so many people choose to be rude and stupid.

    Old 'article

    which shows a better way to get 20,000 miles which can equate to a free single flight and if used to the best advantage only cost £2.50 in taxes!

    'Best way to spend them

    Recent article highlighting this again.

    This offer by bmibaby is open to primary cardholders of a bmibaby credit card, upon which the total valid retail purchase expenditure exceeds £5,000 per annum. The offer can only be redeemed after the 12 month anniversary of account opening date. An email address must be provided in order to become eligible under the scheme and redemptions can only be made online


    Do you have to spend 5K to get a free flight? and cant take it till 12mths after you have took the card out?
    NOT WORTH IT if you do
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    It has very restrictive conditions, this takes the biscuit though

    [font=Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif]
    Any taxes, fees and charges must be paid by the eligible account holder in advance of their departure in pounds sterling or euros at the time of booking. These will vary according to the qualifying destination, and are subject to change as a result of fluctuations in taxes, airport levies and exchange rates. A debit or credit card booking fee will apply at the time of booking.

    So despite you having their credit card they'll still charge you a fee for booking!

    IMHO
    Not worth it.
