Does anyone know if the 20000 points offer (The BMI one) applies per Account

or can i apply for the BMI Classic mastercard offer with just one account but with an additional card holder (my wife) and get the points on both cards?

It should ony apply to the principal cardholders account.

However MBNA CS are not that clever and mistakes are made but don't count on it.

If you want you wife to get the 20K miles then she should apply for her own card.

So now what you do is CANCEL the card.

DO NOT apply for any other MBNA cards
Wait about 2 months and then reapply.
Spend 1p on the 'new' card.

Repeat.

I've just found this on the UK American Airlines site:

http://americanairlines.co.uk/content/uk/specialOffers/creditcard.jhtml

As a Citi® / AAdvantage® Visa Gold card cardmember you can take advantage of our reduced mileage award to Canada, the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean for 30,000 miles between 15 January and 31 March 2007 - that's a 25% discount.

Remember, you will only be able to take advantage of this special award and save 10,000 miles on each award ticket by getting the card. Once you have your card, call AAdvantage at 020 7365 0777 or outside London at 0845 7567 567 and mention award code CBG30.

Note that it now states /30000/ miles, not /20000/.

Has anyone successfully used this (£1000 spend gets you a free US/NA flight) offer yet? Seems the goal posts are shifting.

Also, if anyone has the award code (ie CBG30 in the above text) for when the offer was at 20000 miles, can they please post it... Ta!


On a side note, I got the acceptance letter dated 16th November, and activated my card today. I asked the advisor on the phone whether or not I still qualified for the 15000 miles for £1000 bonus, and he stated 'yes'. I can't find detail of it anywhere in my small print though - is that expected?

Sent in my application to them before 15 Nov but have heard nothing at all. Is this unusual?

It takes a couple of weeks at times to get a reply.

Ring 0800 783 7788 and select option 5 to hopefully speak to a real person to find out where the process is.

That's a 'new' offer and is not the original one that was posted at the start of this thread.

The only place I found the details of the extra 15000 miles offer was on the web-pages of Citibank, both of which I printed and have to hand;)

My (and my wifes) next statement will show that we've both exceded the £1K so we'll wait to see what happens with the AA miles :cool:

I don't intend to use the 20K miles offer to get to the Carribean, however reading the small print it says

" The 20,000 reduced mileage award to N America, Mexico and the Carribean...............that apply and activate the card between 12 September 2006 and 15 November 2006:eek:

So I wouldn't count your chickens just yet.

I have just received my 4th card.

I applied over the 'phone-0800 776 262 as I'd been rejected in September and I wanted to know if I could apply again -took about 1hr:eek:

BUT
got the PIN and card in less than a week which is not bad to say it's the Xmas post.

Well I finally got my card on Nov27th.

Not sure how I spend £1000 before Dec 31st

Open to ideas

My usual supermarket petrol etc will be about £500

thanks
