Thats the main reason why i am thinking about not spending a single point in 2009*. Sure, my accrued points will devalue by those "enhancements" but i still hope that my saved-cash-per-point-ratio goes up if i spend them during the next up-circle. A possible increased number of promos for $$$ spenders might help to compensate the upcoming devaluation as well.

* I thought about converting all my points into miles before jan 2009 but fear that my main FFP will "enhance" their reward structure as well.
