Thailand Elite cardholders reassured
Source: The Nation
The Tourism Authority of Thailand and Thailand Privilege Card insisted yesterday that privileges for Thailand Elite cardholders remained unchanged, despite a recent mailing to members that benefits would be done away with completely.
About 2,500 members across the world recently received a letter, informing them of the cancellation of the privileges. This led to suspicion that the card-issuer - Thailand Privilege Card (TPC) - would soon close its business.
Jutaporn Reungronasa, deputy governor for marketing communications at the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), said the authority, which owns the card company, had never heard about the suspension of TPC members’ privileges and had no intention of halting operations.
“As the owner of TPC, any important decision must be approved by the board of the TAT. This latest issue is probably something [stirred up] from outside,” said Jutaporn.
