[NM]

from news.com.au:

VIRGIN Blue has attacked plans by Qantas to lock frequent flyer customers into a specific credit card, warning travellers "not to be duped out of flexibility and freedom of choice".

The airline has launched an advertising campaigned called “Refuse if you want to choose” following what it says is Qantas’ plans to force millions of credit card holders to lock in the Qantas Frequent Flyer option on their card loyalty program.

Qantas Executive General Manager of Group Loyalty Programs Simon Hickey said that the company's frequent flyer program remained value for money.

"Our campaign is all about giving members direct access to Australia's most popular loyalty program. We know that Qantas frequent flyer provides the most value of any frequent flyer program," he said.
