Default Free flights looking like a SCAM

not sure how old this is, but note 35,000 customers were eligible!!!pretty easy to see how these scammers make money:Citibank-TLC row goes to arbitrationThe Supreme Court has referred for arbitration the row between Citibank and the British life style and travel company, TLC Marketing, by an ex-judge of the court.TLC and its Indian partner Wunderman India of Mumbai had approached Citibank with an offer to promote its credit cards linking them to a scheme called 'free return flight voucher' or 'world for free destinations'.The plan was accepted as the companies claimed that they were world leaders in consumer propositions, helping clients to meet their objectives such as customer retention and loyalty.According to Citibank, 35,000 credit card members were found eligible for the return flights. The scheme went well initially. Later, the bank started receiving complaints from its customers regarding breach of commitments by the travel companies.
