If the Rat didn't want the supermarket ferals flying with them, they wouldn't have bothered handing out points to various cards. A bit late to get snobbish now, Capt Bloggs; most passengers don't wear ties these days.
Me, I'm a confessed feral. In the days when QF could get away with $700 MKY-BNE return, I was grateful for a return flight for 30,000 points. Now I can get the same one hour flight for $39 to a max of $89 each way on the day of travel, having to grovel to QF for the one seat they put aside a month in advance doesn't enter the equation anymore.
Scrap 'em all, QF, I'll trade all mine in for a bottle of scotch and fly with the cheapies. Or is the plan to wait till DJ goes broke then remove Jetstar from the market?
Hmm, maybe I'll hang on to those points after all; one day they might buy me an ashtray for my motorbike.
