Useless Airmiles

[modeller]

Is there anything more useless than collecting Airmiles ?
I had collected a couple of thousand but whenever I tried to use them there were so many restrictions that I gave up and recently when I tried to book a flight to Spain they said my account was dormant and I would have to pay �30 to reactivate it, which wiped out much of any savings on the fare.

Monarch and Iberia airmiles seem to work OK

Morning sara.

[sara3]

Fine, will be in the UK this weekend for 2days.

We seemed to have missed each other on AB recently.

I ducked out for a week or so. too much stuff going on in my house!

but I missed you, obviously. shall I pick you up at Luton?

[sqad617]

Would love that sara....but flying into Manchester LOL I do however remember the last time you picked me up, you were so desirable, but you managed to keep me at bay. LOL

modeller....which airline was it?

[modeller]

Sqad BA ! I think they started the scheme many years back. On Google there are many complaints about them. I guess my question was really about freebee collecting in general such as Nectar and Argos points etc and I wondered how they compared.

Thanks modeller.

I had the same problem Modeller. I had collected nearly 2,000 airmiles and when I tried using them they could only be used on the most expensive flights so I would have to provide a top up and taxes and other extra bits.

The whole scheme is crap!
