This is a ridiculous development. Combined with QR effectively doubling redemption rates and BA increasing fees & charges up the wazoo, the brave new world of Avios is substantially less rosy than was portrayed.
I was sent a video advertisement by AerClub earlier this week to rate, as part of a survey.
Apparently, the idea was to emphasise the Avios link (despite not even bothering to include the Avios logo, that those that already know it would instantly recognise) but the jarring collection of mismatched stock-video footage of "travelling couples/families/groups/solos" and the inane on-screen text didn't really make clear what the ad was intended to convey.
They certainly said nothing about having to firm up your plans at least 60 days in advance, if you want to use those Avios!!!!
I think someone in AGL is losing the run of themselves.
