    Airmiles cards or Tesco cards? Because if it is Tesco cards then first you will have to exchange the Tesco reward vouchers for the Airmiles... And it is about both Airmiles accounts to be registered at the same address.

    ^yea I think we'll need to convert them....but the addresses will be the same.

    Having said that, I have a couple left from when I (briefly) had a Lloyds TSB Duo card....would be good to press them into the same account as well.

    On the other hand I'm tempted by the 20,000 miles with a BMI card as I need to fly to south america. Looking here http://www.flybmi.com/bmi/src/html/diamondclubhowtospendmiles.html it seems I could combine miles and cash (if i can find a flight they'll let me on) but I'm wondering if 20,000 would be too few...

    Does it not let you do an airmiles quotation?
    Not sure about the BMI miles, but my Airmiles do let me. I pick the flight and it tells me how many miles would be needed.

    But I doubt that any special offer would give you enough miles for such a long flight... the best offer I've ever heard of was Europe flights.

    zone 4 Antigua, Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil, Caribbean, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Martinique, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rica, St Lucia, St Thomas, Uruguay,Venezuela

    For zone 3 you need either 30000 miles or 15000 + £100...
    Is that the answer to your question?

    zone 3-
    30000 (15000 + £100)
    40000 (20000 + £140)
