Best Reward Card for gaining Airmiles?

in Credit cards
Hi all,
I've had a Morgan Stanley Platinum card for a while now and, due to decreasing cashback level (together with some poor experiences with their customer service, particularly since the Goldfish move) I've decided to jack it in and cancel the card.
So, I'm looking for an alternative. Unfortunately I don't qualify for the Capital One masterpiece (my credit history isn't as long and shiny as they would like) and I'm on the fence as regards the other cashback alternatives.
What I would like is a card that I can tot up Airmiles on. Am I right in thinking that the Tesco Credit Clubcard is the best option here? I've checked the relevant article and examined the bmi mastercard option, but that only appears to build up BMI's own "destination miles", not Airmiles which (I believe) are more widely accepted.
Is my reasoning right on this one? Or am I missing something major?
P.S. Also, with regards to the MS Platinum Card, I redeemed £45 of my cashback two months ago and it's still showing on my statement. While I like to see high cashback numbers, it would be nicer to know that it's actually there! :rotfl:

Have u looked at Lloyds TSB's Airmiles Duo? It comes with an American Express card which allows u to earn 1 airmiles for every £10 spent and a Mastercard to earn 1 airmiles for every £50 spent.0

LTSB have exclusive rights to the airmiles scheme and are the only provider offering it.
Having said that, you can convert your TESCO clubcard points to airmiles to the best of my knowledge.Whilst my posts do not constitute financial advice, I am always, without fail, 100% right!

Thanks to you both! Hadn't looked at the Lloyds Duo (though goodness knows why not - I bank with Lloyds already, would've thought they'd inundate me with marketing junk about it!).
I've got a Tesco Clubcard already and yup, mrmajika, you're right, Clubcard points can be converted into Airmiles (at quite a good conversion rate). Have also applied for the Lloyds Duo today. Fingers crossed!Anything I post here is purely my own personal opinion. As such it may be wrong, poorly worded or written very tongue-in-cheek.
