I got into airmiles years age when they first came out in a blaze of publicity. Everyone was giving away what looked like Monopoly money and I soon took my family (4 in total) to Paris and back by scheduled flight.
Then they fell out of favour, no-one was issuing them and I stopped collecting. I started again two years ago when I moved up north and was offered free airmiles on my electric account (Hydro Electric). Things had changed - all airmiles were now electronic and there was a nifty website. Although retailers are now offering airmiles again I have not actively sought them. I collect points via Shell on a Smartcard and through the loyalty scheme at Homebase. In other words I don't do anything for them. They don't mount up quickly but they do mount up. I now have over 700 miles, so if we leave the kids at home this time....
In addition they write regularly with special offers e.g. 200 miles for a 20% holiday discount, 100 miles and £100 for a flight. The website also shows offers which are regularly updated.
If you're not collecting airmiles visit the site www.airmiles.co.uk and see where you can pick up yours. You won't get a free holiday this year, but one year you might.

Are you aware of the recent changes? BA miles and Air miles are not the same now. I have outlined the changes in an article under british airways airmiles. Up until recently I would have agreed with you 100%.

good opinion did you know you can get them at sainsburys and if you buy products with bonus points then your airmiles will mount up in no time. x
