Airmiles???

[scottishgirl87]

Does anyone use the Airmiles (airmiles.co.uk) scheme? Can you tell me a little more about it?

Saving for WDW 2010 and while I don't expect to save anywhere near the amount of points needed, every little helps so I'm considering joining.

Any information is appreciated!

PS. Not interested in any credit card/frequent flyer airmiles schemes.

I've just started using it by converting our tesco points into airmiles.

how do i go about doing that and how long do they last before expiring ?

You need to set up an airmiles account first. Then you go to Tesco website and convert the points like you would for any of the schemes and Tesco then matches this to your airmiles account by name and address.

The airmiles won't expire as long as the account is active. I think its 2 years it can go without activity before they delete them.

You can also pick up airmiles points at Shell petrol stations.

I used to work for AirMiles (well, I did the training and a few days on the calls before quitting and deciding to become a teacher - no regrets at all!!) and from what I gathered you need a massive amount of Airmiles to do anything.
Never seemed great to me in all honesty, tho some people swear by them, you just need to get loads of points to be able to do anything worthwhile with them.

Craigsbride - they don't just do flights, but hotels, insurance, coach trips - they're basically just a travel agency.
