There's a trick!

(I have recently also been outraged at the i can fly song.)

When it goes "Welcome to the Marco Polo Club, if you are a member ....... please press 1" press one
When it goes "please enter your membership number and #, enter 123#123#123#"
it will go "sorry, you have entered an invalid membership number three times. your call is now being transferred to a member services executive to provide assistance blah blah

This gets you in the queue with the Diamond's!

Enjoy
