So I just tried to find the email that I was *SURE* explained the 50% bonus - I found the email that advertised the "Qantas Accor Partnership" and also has the epiqure free join offer, but nothing there about the 50% points for transfer...hmmm. Like many of you, I am pretty careful about saving these things until the points arrive so it is odd that I now can't find the relevant email. Does anyone have the email or a screenshot ? Post #1 of this thread has a small screen grab, but I'm not sure it will carry much weight without an email/etc.
Edit: so the image in my email is not hard-coded into the email... it loads from accor's website. I have a vague recollection that the image is where the 50% bonus offer appeared, but I could be wrong. Would Accor change the image file to remove the 50% bonus ? They would then have effectively changed an email that had been sent out months ago = clever, but deceptive.
