Welcome to the USA and to international business where one adapts to the surroundings.
Who is talking about them?
When in Rome,...

Perhaps someone in US will go after this...the BA affiliated Chase cards (two offers out right now) Giving at least 100K Avios.
They talk about the 2-4-1 deals which are very attractive. But after putting together the required 270 K Avios for travel beyond LHR one finds out that a F ticket will incur additional charges of more than $2000.

I agree. very few UK citizens know of the very high YQ.
