That's pretty lame

I agree was that also what you received when you became Plat 1?

i Know its a bit of DYKWIA thing but is this an indication of Plat 1 then I feel I am going to be disapointed.

Took me a couple of reads to see the error ... that's appalling!

I've said before that they must have kids running IT (e-mails count as IT to me). Its a wonder they just didn't send out a tweet or SMS:

It is appalling. As is the use of complimenting when they mean complementing. Basic literacy skills that the work experience kid should have let alone the senior person who approved the content of the form email.

Although, when pointing out spelling/grammatical errors it helps to proof your own work. Glass houses etc...

Ok well webiste is the same just plain old platinum LOL BUT did receive and email this morning which to be honest was a tad underwhelming didnt even come addressed to me!

Seriously don't understand for the life of me what you were expecting?

A parade?
Rose Petals thrown at your feet?

The REAL value in P1 (which I would expect you as a frequent traveller to truly appreciate) is what QF do behind the scenes, small unobtrusive monitoring of your travel plans, the priority that you receive when things go wrong.

The P1 program is there to help you when things go wrong, not to feed your ego.
