  I only received 1.5 miles per £ on my March statement, but that was mostly February spend so perhaps as mentioned above the 2 miles per £ kicked in on 1 March.

  2 per pound for my old zero fee bmi Mastercard. Need to hit 241 on BAPP so can’t direct everything this way but now an even better option for non-AMEX merchants (Grrrrr B&Q) and once I’ve hit the 10K on BAPP

    B&Q gift cards available at Tesco are purchasable with an Amex.
    Plus remember all of the usual vouchers/savings etc. to be had at Jack Cohen’s corner shop.

      Don’t forget you can also get 150 bonus clubcard points if you purchase £50 worth of non-tesco giftcards from Tesco.

      A Shell near me sells B&Q giftcards so I’ll be going there at the weekend for my last Four Square Shell purchase to get some more

  I checked my BMI Plus statement after seeing the FT thread, and came back with some strange results….. my Visa was giving me 1.24 Avios per £ and the Amex 2.33 per £.

  I will admit I worked it out in my head, and was very tired at the time – Will paste into Excel later to get an exact figure.

    The change seems to be 1 March, so if your statement straddles two months that may explain the odd numbers.

  The stealth offer gets better – on my April statement there is, in addition to the 2 miles per £1 spent, a further ‘bonus miles’ amount showing which is equivalent to twice the value of my spend on ba.com during the period. So I got 4 miles per £1 for spending with BA – what a good offer, if only we knew in advance and how long it was going on for!

    Strange because I didn’t get it. I just got a straightforward 2 per £.

    However mine is the very old fee free Mastercard

  I was sent a comprehensive online survey to complete about the BMI Amex/Visa combo. From the questions asked data is certainly being compiled regarding customers’ attitudes, spending patterns etc. I can’t see BA wanting a redundant brand earning Avois – it’s a matter of time that an offer drops on the mat for a BA branded card.

  Do I read correctly that you get extra miles for spending on Ba.com with a BMI MasterCard? I now seem to get 2 miles per £ for everyday spend which is great, but would I get 4 miles per £ spend on Ba.com?

    Recent report suggest that, yes, this has now started happening.
