Based on the consensus of opinion herein, I, for one, will not be for this proposal. On a personal level, I feel that both the traveller and the client company should benefit.
The problem we are faced with is that, as the competition with Messrs. EasyJet, Buzz, Go, Ryanair et al bite, not as much hard cash is going through our tills - the "Decision Makers" are utilising
the cheapest carriers and fares available.
Less cash in = Less cash to spend on travellers' perks!
Already, I understand the marketeers are "tweaking" the cards and reducing some "Golds" to Silver and some "Silvers" to Blue and some "Blues" to "Other Ranks" - its a bit tough when there are only a few points in it!
As our fares are being diluted, what would YOU suggest we do as a viable way of keeping these schemes going for business travellers, as well as being seen as giving a fair deal to your business management?
