It used to be that Aerogold cheques used to earn at face value; use one for $5000, get 5000 miles. A year or so ago, I noticed you only earned at 2:1.

I received some today with my statement and, surprise, now it's 3:1. Spend $4500, earn 1,500. With the 2 cheques provided, the most you can earn is 3,000 miles now.

It never ends.
