More disinformation from clifford.
He seems to be ignoring the fact that most carriers base the number of points you get on the fare that you paid. I as a QF FF for example get less points on BA in N than I do in Y. I get more points in J, and even more in F.
Having looked at the points earning table, there is nothing even remotely radical in it, it is fairly similiar to most other airlines (even his beloved Star Alliance airlines).
What IS radical about this proposal, and which he singularly failed to address, is the award redemption function, which is, I believe, unique (and should be emulated).
You have 347 AIRBUCKS? The fare is $NZ347? Bingo, it is yours, no stuffing around with whether there ar any redemption seats available and so on.
QF is criticised for only having one or 2 F seats open per flight, under this scheme, someone with sufficient points could book out the entire F cabin if they so wanted. Nothing I can see would prevent this, if the seat is there you can have it.
Bring it on to other carriers is what I say.
(We now return you to clifford's disinformation.)
