Is it legal to use air 'miles' in Australia?

[NM]

Well that says it, really, doesn't it!

indeed it does for me. But plenty of people continue to use QFF so even though it may not be attractive as in the past, it must continue to be the most attractive option for many people.

Yes, Dave, you are entirely correct in the observation that the cost benefit analysis of any change depends on the individual. We are agreed that subsequent changes have seen a value reduction, which, IMHO, has set a worrying negative trend over a number of years without any sign of that trend being reversed.

I would entirely agree that after the initial switch from Km to Mi, there has been a downward spiral in the value of the scheme and has changed from one I could recommend to people to one that I would advise few people to join.

If the scheme was as per original switch to miles, then it would be still (imo) a good scheme. With the UCs, anyone who attained/retained platinum pretty much would earn a free one way 5 zone upgrade (1250 SCs) whereas now 1200 SCs would not quite get 15,000 in loyalty bonus
