Good Morning one & All.
I have just looked at my December Points & Balance email and was curious about the Qantas Amex Credit Card.. so I had a peek at the Terms & Conditions. particularly about the Frequent Flyer Program.
I realise of course that the Terms & Conditions must be adhered too for Business reasons, but in all of my years ( over 30 odd years) I saw something in these Terms that sent a chill through me...and to be honest I have never seen or noticed this before... Has anyone else
Quote:
[h=2]4. Termination or Suspension of Qantas Frequent Flyer[/h]4.1 Qantas gives no warranty as to the continuing availability of Qantas Frequent Flyer. Qantas may terminate or suspend Qantas Frequent Flyer at any time. Qantas will give at least six months notice to Members of such termination or suspension, except if Qantas ceases to operate an airline business in which case Qantas Frequent Flyer will cease immediately.
4.2 If Qantas terminates or suspends Qantas Frequent Flyer, Members will be able to redeem Points during the notice period in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, except where Qantas is ceasing to operate an airline business and/or has gone into liquidation or other form of administration, in which case Qantas may terminate or cancel any Awards or Benefits immediately without notice. ( end Quote )
The part that particularly disturbs me is the paragraph where it reads
" If Qantas ceases to operate and airline " and (2) where Qantas is ceasing to operate and airline business and /or has gone into liquidation "
Is this a standard procedure or am I reading something into this clause .. After the recent debarcle with Qantas hitting the headlines it would simply break my heart to see that we ( Australia ) lose Qantas forever.
Looking forward with interest to a comment.
Have a wonderful day.
