Just tried this, and it set me up as a basic level membership (Blue, not silver). Have contacted BMI to see if they will change it to Silver per the link, and will post the results.:(

Nice post!!

joined and got Silver...

cheers OP

Blue for me too......done everything according to the post....it's monday sh1...happens

Thanks OP, I got in before it vanished and have the silver level.

Does anyone know does it entitle you to access to the lounge at Dublin Airport?

As far as I know you can claim miles on flights already booked but not yet taken. On the United Airlines site you should be able to manage your booking, change passenger details etc, and its on that page that you usually add your frequent flier number. Alternatively, there is a link on the bmi diamond club page when you are logged in that lets you claim missing miles. Definitley worth a shot. Enjoy Vegas!

sign up as told by clicked the red button, but it does not work for me, only got blue level membership.

still working, I just registered!

*edit* blue membership

are u silver or blue?

I just got a blue membership Could this be fake if everyone is getting different results?

Bump for anyone with an explanation as to different results?

Be prepared to have your silver status downgraded to blue. Just got this today.

Dear xxx

We're pleased to see that you recently joined our Diamond Club frequent flyer programme. However, I'm writing to you because unfortunately the link you used to join was an exclusive by invitation only offer and as noted in our terms and conditions was non transferable.

Regrettably, we will not be honouring the Silver status, and over the next few days your account will be downgraded to Blue status. Our decision is final, and we won't be entering into any further correspondence on this. On a positive note though, our frequent flyer programme is one of the most generous programmes around, and you only need to earn 16,000 membership status miles to earn a Silver membership. When you fly with us, or any of the Star Alliance airlines, you'll reach Silver status in no time at all. You'll also have access to all our offers and promotions, as well as being the first to hear about our great sale fares. We hope you'll still enjoy the benefits of your Diamond Club membership.

Regards

Yup, just got the same. It's a shame they won't stand over it, I can only presume that an absolute ton of people signed up once the link got around. I feel bitter though, cos I've booked flights with BMI and their partners US Airways for two trips in April, based purely on having Silver status on the program. In both cases, neither were the cheapest flying option available.
