Phewww, thanks Bolthead ... you had me worried that I may be wrong!
I guess what I was trying to point out, was that my previous quip about VA using the smoke and mirror routine cannot be better typified than the glaring example of the business saver. We all had the "book early" discount (which was never much chop in any respect), previously and now they've rebadged that as "business saver" to show a discount over business, with the mandatory loss of benefit attached and hope that we'll all swallow the line that it's something new. No it's not. The only thing new is that they've stripped some cancellation benefits from what we had. It's basically using smoke and mirrors to tart up an existing boring discount into something which is supposed to be new and beneficial. What a load of tripe. VA are caught out. They have no new excitment (except a few more SCs on
some routes.....not mine), but plenty of additional fees, degradation of what we did enjoy and extra cost (in some cases, extraordinary extra cost) to remain on par. The only surprise here for me, is that VA must actually think they can work this scam and get away with it without anyone noticing ... or they're arrogant enough to not give a rats as the mugs will keep reaching deeper into their pockets for what has been a sub-par experience for many months now. Good luck!
