I had an account with "Buy & Fly" It's a reward scheme which gives among other things, flights for points. The arrangement was that I was awarded points for using a specific "Buy & Fly" credit card from MBNA bank.
I was collecting points for nearly a year with the intention of collecting enough for a trip to the USA. Just yesterday I contacted B&F to try and arrange this flight. I discovered that they have just gone into liquidation. Their website advised me to contact the issurer of the points.
I contacted MBNA who confirmed that B&F had in fact closed but they (MBNA) have no responsibility to me for any redress. I particularly used my MBNA card for almost everything during the year in order to gather points. It did not actually cost me anything because I always clear my account every month, but I feel that MBNA should not wash their hands of it.
BTW, according to the "Buy & Fly" broucher, they seem to be associated with IATA. (aviation Reg.), whould it be worth while contacting them.
