I doubt any "pressure" will force Qantas to alter in way, shape or form what they want to do.
If you look closely at the Terms and Conditions....
It is a very well worded legal statement of position. Qantas have made us all 'agree' to the T&Cs.... otherwise, we are not Members of their QFF Program.
The T&Cs state: that Qantas can scrap the whole Program if they want... that Qantas can amend any rule, or alter the Program in any direction etc. etc.
We have no possible action to take against Qantas whatsoever. Other than, to 'take it, or leave it'.
I'll get used to it... as a low volume flyer, I've got nowhere else to go!
Plus, I paid for a Life Membership of the QC....
