    I am trying to make sense of the published T&C applicable to the QFF Loyalty Bonus SCs, as different parts of the QF site seem to say inconsistent things. Having earned a LB I have the usual choice between 50 SCs and 8000 pts. I will retain WP at my review date and can delay the LB selection...

    Loyalty programs promising "experiences": Do any actually deliver?

    There seems to be a trend in recent years where loyalty programs are taking the focus of their benefits away from a points currency, and towards things like "money can't buy experiences". I've lost count of the number of times I've seen cliches like loyalty programs talking about unlocking...
