Not I.

If everybody gets all these points there will be no free award seats in F or J for the next year even with more being available due to less paying !

I guess sometimes I post something a bit tongue in cheek and no-one seems to get it!

Amex's failure to meet its own promised deadlines, and its strategic letters of suspension and 'you weren't invited' letters etc, are worrying.

Is it true there's little chance now of getting classic seats for a trip to LA for the January 2010 school holidays? A Current Affair should film lots of crying kids waving off a plane on its way, without them, to Disneyland.

It seems some people need to get back on the happy meds...

It seems some people need to get back on the happy meds...

There are various happy meds of which most of us are still waiting to be provided

Being unsuspended - Only 2 doses handed out so far
All points being allocated - Still waiting for a single dose of this med

Amex needs to find a new pharmacist....

Vet,
I just booked flights to LA using points last week.
I booked 4 seats leaving on 26/12, 4 seats leaving 27/12 and 4 seats leaving 28/12. I booked exactly 353 days out, the flights were released at 11am each day.
There always appear to be lots of availablity if you want to fly 31/12 and they always seem to be available during the year.
I was waiting to be unsuspended from the promo so that I could transfer points into my QF account, however Amex didn't get there act together in time so I was lucky enough to borrow some points from my brother until Amex sort everything out.

Amex cannot be responsible for 'collateral' damage - ie them not awarding points in a certain timeframe is in breach of their T&C's, but the failure of Qantas to offer you award seats (when you want them) is not Amex's fault. Same goes for failure to award points and then not being able to transfer to Velocity etc in a certain promotional timeframe,

I'd love to see ACA or similar doing a fluff piece on this. Need a good laugh at society in general.

We my DH and I have just booked our first award flight booking to Europe in Sept. This wouldn't have been possible without the information on the amex promotion. We are flying economy over and premium economy return(happy about that!). I know its not luxury but because of the promo better than we could have afforded.

We have received some of the promised bonus points but not all. Enough for our flights so even if we don't get more we are happy.

I now read his forum advidly and have gathered some excellent infomation. Which I appeciate.

So thank you one and all

and gogo65, congrats on being 'unsuspended'.

Are you really serious?

"I am so sad because daddy wont take me to Disney as Amex didnt give him lots of points in time for paying his phone bill in $1 increments"

Back to the availability issue. Have you even checked availability on line for whY seats to LAX? Also seats become available 355 days out so the latest return flight you could book we be to come back on 5 January at the moment.

Family of four syd-lax-syd 15/12 - 3/1 - availability.

No one should need to borrow points because Amex hasn't paid up on time, even the mythical someone who supposedly paid vodaphone to get a kerzillion points.

Sorry, that's just bollocks. Your contract (if that's what it is) with Amex would allow you to chase them for points they havn't credited. Your purchasing decisions with the points are none of Amex's business - nor are they a party to any loss caused by you not having points when you wanted to purchase tickets.

[/Devil's advocate] Even if AMEX haven't credited the points owned by the time specified in the contract.

I'm trying to think of a polite way to say 'that is a load of cough':!:

Absolutely correct.

Eer.... Yes :!:

As a devil's advocate I can't really get excited about this line of reasoning. But I guess I appreciate the sentiment. If my tenant stopped paying rent leading to foreclosure and lost of my property I'd be pretty annoyed with the tenant. Not that I can see any way that I could recover my lost future income from them.

Anyway, meh

The sticking point may be somewhere in the MR T&C it probably states that points have no value (even though they do in practice).

I hope he is Simongr. I am going to sue Amex because my missus has developed asthma while I've been waiting for them to provide the points I need for a Dyson. "I'll do the vacuuming when Amex give me my frickin points. Take it up with them if you've a problem".
