In Reply to: Warning AMEX Cardholders posted by GaryD on Friday, 8. October 2010 at 14:30 Bali Time:
This all went down a year ago, it was 30th September 2009.
Qantas told all the banks that they would no longer accept point transfers. The bank would either have to issue a card that could only earn QFF points, or issue a card that the points could be transferred to Virgin, Singaporeir, etc.
I think this was driven by people transferring their points to velocity rewards and getting 50% bonus points etc, instead of Qantas.
So now you have to get a Qantas Amex, or a Qantas Visa (via your favourite bank) to earn QFF points.
This was very well publicised and I received several communications from both Qantas and Amex via Post and Email.
