From "The Australian" newspaper - . ."The Diners Intervention reinforces calls by Adelaide law firm Corsers that the value of the points be based on the retail value of tickets that frequent flyers could have redeemed.. .Mr Atkins (Diners sales and marketing general manager) said the $140 million valued each point at 0.2c, which would make a Sydney-Melbourne return flight of 17,000 points worth just $34. "I haven't seen too many $34 return flights out there so there's something a bit strange about the way it's been valued.""
However, you may recall that just a week or so ago we DID see Ansett advertising $65 flights, and people were asking "WHY".. .All part of the game plan to neutralise the Frequent Flyers - who by the way hold 67 BILLION POINTS!!
