If I buy a ticket for $200 for fees, then fly 12,000 miles on my ticket, I have to spend $12,000 on my credit card when the ticket hits, or I only get what I spent. If the $200 is the most I spent by chance, you would receive 200 flight points and 200 spend points.

This was not the policy before, I had gone to Europe before and booked my family tickets, and I received all the points and there is no way I spent 30,000 in the month.
