Points, of course, are difficult to quantify monetarily, so you have good reason, but if you look at what appear to be minor discrepancies - in my case , $3 of unaccounted charges each month over 3 months that took a week to sort out - and calculate them over a large consumer base with a 'bigger issues to worry about' mentality, you re basically talking million dollar scams.
The reluctance to challenge over insignificant amounts is what is driving this problem in the first place - and the consumer is as responsible as the company for these swindles.

Thanks acysb87..
Often we're living in a bubble.. and don't see the good of what we've got..
Seeing the positives makes all of us happier campers.. in the same situation we face everyday..

To quote the Eagles: "Every form of refuge has it's price".
I cannot be bothered to read all replies, BUT simply do what fits you. I am a loyal 1W member because I fly BA a LOT on my normal route and they provide premium economy - which fits my busted up legs on my 6'5" body.
I decided to be loyal to 1W, and fly CX to Sydney as I was on a bicycle trip. CX only allowed 20 kg (my bicycle) and I sent the other equipment by airfreight to SYD. The result?? A total cost of about $500 and quarantine inspection hassles, delays, and ...
Next year I will fly China Southern because of their XS baggage cost as compared to the $500 airfreight and aggravation cost (each way)
Sometimes loyalty must take a second seat to reality - especially if it comes to spending MY after-tax dollars.
