Final Chance for Status Match + Points Transfer from bmi to British Airways

Come December 31st, now just two days away, the bmi Diamond Club will shut its doors for most of the world. If you’ve neglected transferring any destination miles from your bmi account to your British Airways Executive Club account, it is now or never. Same with a status match.

After numerous e-mails and even a couple snail-mail letters from bmi, I finally got around to transferring my remaining 379 miles and requesting a status match last week. It did not take long to do, though I experienced some difficulty in finding where to do it. So I’ll help out all you procrastiantors.
