For a limited time British Midland is offering Silver status for three months to anyone that joins the Diamond Club program. You simply need to earn 4,000 status miles (which you can earn from travel on any Star carrier) during that period to qualify for the rest of the year.

Sounds like UA. I just wish AA does this offer too.

Lucky, as a non frequent traveler is it worth it for me to credit the few United flights I have to bmi for this promotion? Does it get me Econ+ or baggage on United, or is it better to hope that United does Double EQM again?
Is BMI still doing status matching?
BMI, yes they are still doing a tier match.

Hi Lucky,
You can also get instant BMI Silver without the 4k mile challenge through this link:

Does that mean BMI Gold is only 38K miles in the year then?
BMI match requires a BMI operate flight booking now
BMI silver will get UA free bag, but no E+
