re: Qantas/Amex Changes [consolidated threads]
I'm confused! I have stacks of points on my Corporate Amex - the old style green & white one and even more points on my Platinum Amex. Am I right in assuming that the Platinum points are safe, but should take the opportunity to transfer the Green & White points to Qantas points now?

I can only imagine the revolt from holders of the Corporate card,
unless Ascent Premium is going to be available for all (albeit at an increased fee |

re: Qantas/Amex Changes [consolidated threads]
Not the end of the world. I am not rushing to transfer all my Amex MR points to Qantas and I will continue using the Amex Gold Card which is fee free for life. There are other airlines apart from Qantas.
The Amex Qantas Premium Card will only be used for Qantas domestic flights, to earn 2.25 QFF points per $, but this card is under review due to the increase in annual fee to $249. |

re: Qantas/Amex Changes [consolidated threads]
I think it is mainly option 2. Some of QFs decisions lately do not make any sense....

re: Qantas/Amex Changes [consolidated threads]
After the recent dinner in Melbourne and listening to the presentations from Virgin & AMEX I also believe that #2 is the most logical answer.

re: Qantas/Amex Changes [consolidated threads]
Not sure why they picked that particular date but with a change this big and the potential backlash Amex faces from their credit card holders Amex had to give plenty of notice for them to decide what to do with their MR points.
