Diners puts contract with Ansett rewards points on hold
Credit card agency Diners Club International, has delayed its decision to enter into a contract involving rewards points with Ansett's prospective buyers.
The Fox-Lew consortium, Tesna, has unveiled its new frequent flyers program.
It will involve all members of the old scheme starting from scratch.
The managing director of Diners Club, Bryan Ericson, says some club members will be happy with the deal.
However, he says it fails to recognise the previous card spending of other members who have not been frequent flyers.
He says the card program involving Diners will remain on hold until the issue is reviewed.
"A lot of our members may have not been in the high category of travelling with Ansett and what they have is built up many hundreds of thousands of points and we believe they deserve a much better offer from the Tesna group," he said.
