We understand that some people don’t read the terms and membership agreement they signed in detail, don’t know it and feel upset or believe it’s unfair, but this is information and conditions that have been around for years.
The expiration measure was implemented on April 1, as the new points viewer was launched in the member area, which allows people to see which points they have, which have expired or are about to expire. … as a tool to help our members control their points and spend before they expire.”
