Via TM Travel World, bmi is offering trial silver status for new members.
the status will be valid for 3 months, and all you need to do is to fly 4000 status miles(any *A flight) to keep the silver status for additional next months.
BMI silver status can earn 25% bonus miles on any *A flight and they offer the lowest premium redemption chart
Silver status is mostly useful for folks actually flying bmi, because it yields lounge access with bmi but not Star partners. But the bonus miles are nice, to be sure.
You can also get free Silver Status on BMI without the “challenge” portion from this link:

The Silver Status is also probably good for status matching to silver with Delta…
