No more Costa discount!!!
Well here we are with another stupid cut back from Emirates the tight gits.:ugh:
Went in to Costa at Silicon, showed my EPC card to be told no discount!!!:= You now have to have a Platinum card, puchased from Emirats of course.:yuk: What ever next from this pathetic company:confused: |
No more discount, no more Costa. Simple.
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has better coffee anyway and the EPC discount. Doesn't help at EGHQ but usually a lineup a mile long anyway at peak times. The EK Platinum card is a complete ripoff, thankfully I heeded my instincts and threw their promotional material where it belongs, in the trash. |

What ever next from this pathetic company |
As an observation, they do appear to be sabotaging EPC deals in Dubai with their Platinum Card.
|
Subsonic, while you may in a sense be correct, I think it's the bigger picture that Puff is trying to portray. He's right, EK can be incredibly petty in some of their decisions
|
Thanks FM you're right of course.
SubsonicMortal. Crawl back into your hole.:rolleyes: |
I'm not here to mudsling. No comment.
|
That's it ......... I'm leaving.

I find the Platinum card a good value for money. 25 dhs a month for 2 cards and a lot of discounts! You don't need to choose one, you can have both (Platinum and EPC). I still can afford a coffee without discount!
:ok: |
yup yup and I can afford a Porsche but I don't own one...that isn't the point...and I did have a good look at the Platinum program, perhaps it's different for families but for singles the discounts are generally about half that of comparable EPC deals and always have all kinds of conditions attached.
Not keen to pay a monthly fee to my employer so that I can get 5% off my second entree on the third Thursday of every other month (beverages not included, limit 2 people, between the hours of 6-7:30pm). And yes it is indicative of what lengths will be gone to grab back two fils.... I'd say the only pathetic thing here is your attitude. Bitching about no more discount at a coffee shop and you call the company pathetic? THAT is pathetic mate. I'm not here to mudsling. No comment. |
Oh dear, oh dear... no more costa discount... :{ what will all this lead to in the end...:(
|
It's a pretty tragic post. You really need to get a hobby
|
More evidence that pilots will complain about anything. If a couple of dirhams on a cup of coffee is that important, what have we become.
|
How was copper wire invented?
Two pilots fighting over a penny... :p No discount here, EK Platinum or EPC, but it's a nice place recently pointed out to me by a friend: Esquires Coffee on Beach Road. Right beside Sizzlers, roughly between Chili's and Town Centre Mall. Decent place. Cheers |
The point is---PENNIES matter!!!! They matter enough for them to get rid of the discount!!!
The worrying trend is that everything is going this way and cuts are being made everywhere- always to OUR detriment. 5% here, 10% there all add up very quickly and it will only get worse as the companies in Dubai, who have been used to 40%, 70%, 100% returns look to keep the money coming in. In the end WE will pay for it. |
Its simple if you don't like it, take your business elsewhere. Anybody that likes their coffee won't be seen dead in COSTA, any decent coffee shop would not put milk in first then pour the coffee in to make a latte, I was once told by a COSTA employee that if you put the coffee in first then the milk that is a cappucino:ugh:
|
Oh dear, this is just about the most pointless ranting thread ever. :ugh:
It might not strike you, but this has nothing to do with EK. Why don't you just go to Starbucks, or buy yourself a can of Nescafe to take home and save REAL money! :rolleyes: |
It might not strike you, but this has nothing to do with EK. Lemme just run and get my crayons, I'll draw you a diagram to make it easier to understand. |
Is this the start of 'my coffee is better than your coffee'? :}
|
Time to break out my 3 in 1 coffee sachets !!!
Costa= Costa-lotta money |
Hey Puff, don't let the door hit you in the vagina on the way out! ...
|
he must be a tight ass....

LMAO @Strewth

Three Flight Engineers meet up at a sleazy bar during an overnight stay. One guy says let's have just one round of drinks then get the bill as I have been ripped off in places like this before......they all agree and order three beers. On getting the bill they are surprised to find that it is only 60 cents. When the barman is questioned he says no that price is correct and says that he is a retired Flight Engineer and a few years prior he won a large Lotto payout and decided to setup a bar where overnighting aircrew could enjoy a few cheap drinks........great say the guys lets have three more beers. :D Just then they spot three other guys sitting in the corner without drinks looking sullen. The barmen is asked "what's with those guys?" He says..."They are pilots and they're waiting for happy hour" :} :} :ooh:
|
No surprise management threat us like they have been, after reading posts like the Costa one by puff'm call
:ugh: Feel ashamed to be an EK pilot after posts like this... |
