These loyalty programs used to be great. But now, it seems the loyalty program wants to have it's cake and eat it to. ther is little transparency to the card holder (I can't even see when my points are expiring) and a simple email notice would have avoided my wife's loss. By the program wants the loss. I agree with others here - these programs will eventually crash and burn. Instead of creating loyalty, people wil start running away form them (sorry for the rant).
