You should check your math, it's not a 25% reduction in the number of RDM's, it's only about 11%. If you fly 1000 BIS miles, as a Plat you earn 2250 RDMs today. With the changes you will earn 2000. 11% less. Oh, and by the way, this change makes your existing miles more valuable. Less currency out in the marketplace. Lower inflation over time.
