Recently had to "upgrade" my Amex due to reasons between Amex and my Association parting ways. So Went Amex Plat'n Edge, was talking with Amex customer service on a separate issue and came across the fact by accident, that Qantas, bless their flea-bagged-penny-pinching souls, have decided to rip-off their points holders YET AGAIN!!! Just last week they made this change with no fanfare or anything akin to a notice, BUT now, unless you have a QANTAS branded card, you CAN NOT access reward points to convert to FF miles on Qantas. Where was that announcement????? Even the Amex CS person was quietly p'd off. So with the ability to gain upto 3 points per $, Virgin will get all our business as the Irish born business killer continues to destroy one the last iconic Australian business. Wonder what Paddy would have to say??
