How's that got anything to do with booking a meeting and attending a meeting?
Thats right, nothing.
Intent doesn't matter.. If you follow the rules. This is why Iberia honored their 9000 point promotion. Can you PLEASE stop clouding this thread with your irrelevant banter and accusations. This thread is about people missing benefits, not your opinion on why they shouldn't chase what they're entitled to.
By the way, you can't just change rules and have then retroactively apply to a contract signed before the rules were changed. That's not how law works, you can add terms in as much as you want saying you can change anything, doesn't mean it holds up.
