I get it. reduced earn rates, it's not something that hard to digest (even with a lot of pain). We all knew, we had something coming. But slashing the transfer rates in half is just pathetic. You've just lost me Amex... by the way, its 6 cards including two platinums from my household...Hmm

Near future, Amex: Yeah! now we're accepted everywhere in Australia hip hip............... ...............................................................................................................................Wait a second....... where's all the card members gone.. ........................

thanks for the reply, would you mind asking how early do you search?Thanks

Thanks for the response. Yes, that's right, I was able to find a single business class availability most of the time through the Qantas website but never, two seats. Perhaps, UL only releases one award seat per flight hmm.
