Air Miles

I am not a member of this programme myself. The way you can accumulate points seems to be decreasing frequently. There are also some restrictions on usage. For example, you cannot transfer air miles between different people, even family members. Unless the person who holds the air miles is booking it, going on the trip, and is the lead name on the ticket. I do not know if this restriction also applies to other rewards such as theme park ...  Read the complete review

How would you like free flights to anywhere in the world or free cinema tickets, free entry to amusements parks ? Well, if you buy food, petrol, flowers, books, computers, take cross channel ferries, buy car tyres or even buy anything in plastic you can earn Air Miles. Me too !

In reality there are three BA airmiles schemes, the first to be launced was the paper Air Miles scheme. It became a sensation but is now more or less defunct. If you have any paper miles then you can use them, but you cannot send them to Air Miles to be converted, Then came the Air Miles card, for purchaces in shops. Finaly we have methods to earn miles over the net. Unfortunately you always seem to need to part with some money to get them but Air Miles are very useful. Unlike many other points schemes, Air Miles have become more useful over time as the cost of flights have fallen. Furthermore the scheme is backed by BA. One thing to know.....BA do not ...  Read the complete review
