I will no longer be flying British Airways, using my Chase BA card or transferring any more Amex membership rewards points to Executive Club if this proves to be even remotely accurate.
Holy crap if this is true... and it seems fairly accurate. The partner award chart is critical to the value of BA miles. Otherwise, under the BA only award... my miles become as valuable as SkyPesos!

So I assume we have until November 1 to book under the current redemption charts... if so, yea, I'm planning to book and burn the 380,000 remaining miles on my BA account pretty fast.
