QR Credit Cards
This, once again, shows the complete and utter moronic nature of the beast that gets employed within the airline industry. With 1 hand they push internet bookings, kick travel agents in the teeth and cry via that Big Baby Apologist Bisagnani that they are losing money because of everything and everybody except themselves...and then they pull a stunt like this making their product difficult to purchase, inconvenient to purchase, and negating themselves in their hype of the internet as their salvation from "distribution costs".
Haven't they ever heard of expired cards? Lost or stolen cards? If a purchase was made 6 months ago, and it has not been disputed within 30 days of statement date, then it is a valid charge and they have their money. It would be interesting to try to say, if one had a non-refundable ticket and now didn't want to travel, that "don't have the credit card"...when they refuse to take you because of it, dispute the charge THEN with your c/c stating they didn't provide service as contracted to...and get the refund back for the trip you didn't want to take in the first place and which was non-refundable...turn around and bite these greedy, arrogant airline buffoons in their own pockets.
