I'm wondering what's Singapore Airlines gonna say about this (agency). This is not a fly-by-nite travel agency. This is a leading travel agency with one of the highest turn-over in term of ticket sales in Singapore.
I suppose that they are innovative, think out of the box. It could set a new standard in FF miles, and any airlines that still refuse for their miles are traded may loose out. I for one is supporting this move.
The last time the FF industry make a major changes in their rules is the removal of mileage expiration. This has caused the airlines industry a lot of money, because before that, airlines just pocket all the miles that was not claimed within a certian time frame. I have lose nearly 20K miles before, and for that reason, I no longer collect mileage from FFP that still have a time limit rule (like SQ, TG, CX, NZ etc). I now move my business to program that doesn't expires (like KE, QF, UA, AA, etc). IMHO, in the end, it may cost the airlines more, but they also pick up more businesses, which very much compensate for their loss.
Anyone feel the same way?
