Old BMI Diamond Cards
« on: February 01, 2011, 02:44:04 PM »
Though with my new (DDF standard) Amex Plat I wont need it for lounge access, are my BMI Diamond cards worth anything i.e. is there what to gain by showing them when traveling on Star Alliance?

Those who did the BMI deal that fell through probably still have their cards...

Sure, but Continental now only status matches for 90 days unless you fly enough during the challenge period.
