Hedo, I won't presume to speak for Cygone but I share his views. Priceline is often a superior alternative. One is at great risk placing faith in so-called loyalty programs when the sponsors routinely devalue their outstaning points. True, there have been great changes in the industry recently, but a sponsor might have taken a less intrusive response such as simply awarding fewer points in the future. I try not to be bitter or emotional about it, but I do try to act rationally. Any discussion to the effect that this program is 3% better than this one is extremely short sighted when your points balance can be devalued by 50% almost overnight. One is foolish to accrue an un-redeemed balance of a million points or more because you will have a hard time spending them quickly enough when the rules change.
