Is this THE trend? If so, it "ain't" good!

Imagine that along with the specials for the week is included another note detailing another "improvement" to your FF program -

You read "Please Note: Effective immediately, CyberSavers and E-fares will no longer accrue as credit for elite status miles nor will they be eligible for ........ Airlines mileage credit."

Sound crazy? Well, as indicated in my email from NWA last night and promptly noted by Wiirachy/Pat & NW,CO,TW only:

"Please Note: Effective October 4, 2000, CyberSavers and CyberSavers Extra! fares will not be eligible for WorldPerks mileage credit."

NWA FF's had a less than restful night thinking about lost mileage opportunites and lost status too!

You now need to pay to play - and yet NWA wants us to book online!

If this is a trend, it is NOT good- to say the least!

By analogy, (though admittedly a bit far fetched), if you deposit your check in the bank by using the ATM rather than a teller, are you still elible to accrue interest on the deposited funds? C'mon!

What can we do about it? Write NWA? http://www.nwa.com/talk/

Anything else?
