So
@Dan brought this up in his recent interview with Ami magazine saying "it turned out to be false".
I want to set the record straight: it was NOT false.
It was true that Citi had communicated this internally to its customer service reps (possibly to prepare them for the upcoming change), apparently before it was formally finalized, and the arrangement with Avios didn't eventually materialize.
Other DDF'ers called in at the time and were told the same information by Citi TY reps.
Other than that, how y'all doing?
