Does any one know for sure whether Worldpoints convert to Airmiles, not only Virgin or BMI Diamond Airmiles?

Yes, 500 BAA Worldpoints can be converted as follows:

30 Airmiles
500 Virgin Points
750 BMI Diamond Club Points

The Airmiles new online shopping scheme is well worth looking at. All you need to do is register on the airmiles website and go to the online shopping section. There are loads of high street shops, department stores, insurance companies who you can buy from eg John Lewis, Boden, Admiral Insurance etc etc and it's mostly 1 mile for every £2 spent, though some are 1 mile per £5.

It's a great way to shop from home, get airmiles from great shops (that don't reward airmiles instore), save yourself all the hassle of walking round the shops and get some kind of holiday/flight reward at the end.

Although I think Airmiles are a bit of a waste of space, in the last year I managed to redeem

3 adult fares on London Eye
Adult ticket for Legoland

This was through Southern Electric points and through haphazard buying of the Times during the Airmile promotions.

Why would I lie? Scroll down the rewards page on the BAA Worldpoints website to the 500 point reward chart and see for yourself.

The article on boosting airmiles is now out of date. The link for the BAA credit card doesn't work. Does anyone else know if they have stopped doing it now?

Also with the airmiles credit card although you do get 200 free miles for joining you have to spend a whopping £2000 in the first 3 months to get the extra 300. Not so good.

Can't believe it, I use that card to boost my miles. Was saving for a holiday for me and my girlfriend. Dose anyone think I can phone up and threaten to cancel my card to try and get extra points out of them!!! :money:

Just take out the replacement non NatWest credit card that's offering the Airmiles instead !!!!

Incidentally it is supposedly going to be TWICE as good !
