Surprise 'lifetime' membership
Intriguing story. U suppose when things are too good to be true, they are usually not true...

Would have been easy enough for Qantas to resolve this without too much trouble. Before becoming a lifetime SG, I also held a lifetime QP card and so does Mrs. DUF.

On the day of the hearing, James said Qantas offered his wife a four-year membership and some frequent flyer points.
Man, this was the offer they should have taken. Or at least a starting point for negotiations. Never go to 'trial' unless you have to!
