RE: RE: Loyalty Programs All the progress made is being overshadowed by dark clouds at the moment. It seems inconceivable that partnerships in the past 7 months, with United Continental-Mileage Plus, Protractor Software and Points International were all in vain. A company doesn't enter into these without a good strategic plan and a firm belief the plan can be profitably executed.
Aeroplan has excellent data gathering and analysis for the loyalty market. Because the auto sales industry is huge and would benefit Aeroplan also, maybe they can design a value-added program for Futura specially for car dealerships. Could use the same idea for the US, but then Aeroplan would have to be compensated somehow by Futura.
The potential is out there. But Futura has to get their own house in order, before moving ahead..
