Well, in the interest of accuracy, BD's program actually offers true one-way rewards. Perhaps you are thinking of CX that slightly discounts (or surcharges, depending on how you look at it) the one-way rewards.

I don't defend everything CO does. I think they have plenty of policies that suck and I say so when they come up. This one, however, isn't really a negative in my book. Given the option between one way rewards with no stopovers (like most the carriers you cited earlier) or r/t rewards with stopovers I'll take the latter. I think they present a better value.

More to the point, I go into the situation well educated so that I can make a decision based on the rules that the program has. The OP asked about those rules and I gave him the information. At then you jumped in with a typical rant about how CO hates its customers and thinks we are all idiots. The more things change, the more they stay the same. At least this one doesn't require months of chiropractic treatment for you.
