Priority Club - No longer an Amex partner as of June 30 2012

Couldn't see a post on this already:




This is for Amex Ascent, not sure of Ascent Premium

I wonder if this is the doing of Priority Club or American Express?

Not sure I like all these changes to Ascent from 1 July 2012....

Given the poor redemption rates of MR --> Priority Club it will be hardly missed. Buying points from Priority Club directly seem a much better deal

However if you do news some Prioirity Club points don't panic send it to Virgin Atlantic as they have a 1:1 so no loss it's actually a gain

The removal of PC as an Amex MR partner seems to be happening worldwide.

Same for Ascent Premium too.. Well that is a pain for me as i usually topped up points to keep Platinum. Might have to do it early for this year and see what happens next year..

It says that Priority Club will no longer be a rewards member for points transfers, however does anyone know if this will effect the partnership for status?
