Ok Bryan and Pam,

I for one respect what you both had to say. But here it is in a nutshell.

Check out the thread under American Express. Apparently, without actively notifying anyone, they intend to begin imposing fees on transferring miles to airlines. That means If I buy something today, with the intent to use the miles after July 1, I will have incurred fees I knew nothing about at time of purchase. This is fraud.

Your office (and Randy) can take-on this issue as our advocate. This forum may be used to actively persuade American Express card members to cancel their accounts and switch to Diners or someone else. Angry calls to action may be posted. It will get ugly - not profane - just ugly.

What will happen here:

Will Inside Flyer join the protesting, advocating for consumers, taking drastic action such as holding an "impeachment" vote for the Freddie that the Canadian Amex won?

Will the debate be restricted in any way (beyond tasteful words) even if the FT website becomes a platform advocating the boycot of one of your potential advertizers?

I think you see the issues here, and I know I and many others want to know what to expect for this and similar, future issues.
