My newly bought *A RTW in C class is noticeably devoid of NZ flights - even though they would have be a convenient carrier to use. Sad really.
og, so somebody else other than Mrs QF WP got caught using the same trick . I feel so much better now ^. Admittedly, I should have coached her in her response well before that point, but it was 7.00am in the morning as well and I was in another room and didn't get there in time.

Alas, she had come home from England...just not in the last 3 months (try 4 years agoo). She had been using her father's address (here in Qld) even when she was overseas, we forgot to change it to her previous UK address when we did the UK status match. Same thing - they cancelled her *Gold and she reverted to Base member. As she only had 17K points left (now only about 120AirNZ$$, or whatever currency they use in their program), so we're going to let it lapse.
