Do you use a credit card?Buy petrol?Cook or heat your house with gas?
If the answer to these questions is yes then you could be earning "Air Miles" that would build up slowly to eventually get you free or discounted flights as well as other offers.
The British Airways AirMiles Scheme gives you air miles as a reward for doing what you do every day - spending.
My main source of generating the miles is Sainsburys.The reward points that that supermarket give you for every pound spent or special offer bought can be exchanged at the rate of 40 airmiles for 500 points.These points really add up quite quickly especially when you take advantage of the extra points awarded with some products - and what do points mean? Airmiles! The other day we needed some rice.Conveniently Sainsburys were offering 500 extra points with a 4kg bag of Basmati rice.That meant 40 Airmiles!
My other sources of Airmiles are gas,petrol and credit card use. We have our household gas for heating and cooking supplied by Amerada Gas.They give you an Airmile for every £6 on your bill.Petrol I usually buy from Sainsburys and of course I receive points and hence Airmiles for every fill-up.If I`m travelling I`ll fill up at Shell and use their Smart card which gives one Airmile for each £8 spent . If, of course ,you pay for all the above using your Nat-West card you`ll be rewarded yet again to the tune of one Airmile for every £20 on your card bill.
Their are other ways of accumulating the miles - Vodaphone amongst them.Full info would be sent to you when you sign up. You get sent a statement every six months and it`s quite informative.
Their website has been recently improved and is now a lot more friendly to use.It has all the most recent special offers that allow you to use your miles for even better deals.
If you`ve not signed up do so now!

I thought this was quite helpful. I've just signed up, and have discovered that Tesco are involved, and you can buy things on the airmiles site - just got 200 with a case of wine. I've also built up my airmiles by buying some on ebay.

I'm wondering about collecting these myself. I wanted to find out how you sign up and how to exchange them. Can they be used in full or part payment? Can you use them only for economy flights or can you get upgrades? Does each mile literally mean that is a mile travelled?
