"Dear <Mal>,
I am writing to let you know about some changes and enhancements [oops - there's that word!] to your American Express Platinum Credit Card and Membership Rewards Ascent program.
Important changes to your Terms and Conditions regarding Qantas Frequent Flyer, effective 1 April 2009
We would like to advise you that Qantas has decided not to renew its participation as an airline rewards partner[...]
This means that after 31 March 2009, you will no longer be able to trasfer your Membership Rewards points from Ascent to the Qantas Frequent Flyer Program[...]
Your Options.
Option 1: [summarised]
Switch to Plat Charge Card. Introductory fee $600 for the first year. Provides access to Ascent Premium which allows continued transfer of points. All other Amex cards linked on your Ascent account will also earn points that can be transferred to Qantas.
Option 2: [summarised]
Switch to a Qantas co-branded card.
Option 3: [summarised]
If you don't care about Qantas points - do nothing.
