Just for the record, I'm not terribly happy about the changes, but I would like to know why people are so upset about CR-1s'.
CR-1s are incredibly helpful when you need to book yourself and a non-status companion on separate PNRs due to using an eCert. I can't use UDU, I'm not going to use a SWU (especially for the SEA-ROC my friend and I just booked), so CR-1s are the only logical currency.
