Uh huh. So you're not going to tell us the new partner award chart in advance so we can lock in either current rates if you are raising them on us? That's nice of BA.
My guess is that the only values on the chart right now like N. America-S. America and N. America-Asia will be devalued. With the insane fuel surcharges and the likely increased redemption levels for ex-US routes that matter to me, I guess I'll burn the 120k mi I have and call it quits.
Why do I get the feeling that you will screw us? And that the 97% of flights that are not increasing are only BA flights? This sounds like typical marketing spin.
Oh, and FWIW, I thought the partner award pricing was already simple enough. It's funny that companies feel the need to patronize us by treating us like idiots and make things 'simpler' even though it's already simple enough for a 12 yr old to understand.
Excuse my cynicism, but I think all of you who are cheerleading right now will come to regret it. Think about it. Why aren't they telling us the whole award chart right now? Why did they just release the good news?
