I asked them to speak to their supervisor and i was told they dont want to give out information yet because they dont have all the values yet ( someone has them but the service center will get the calculator / rates on the same date as we do )....

If you take a look at the examples you will see that some destinations are getting cheaper and others are getting more expensive. It depends on the distance.

Now you can book AUH - BKK and AUH - MNL for the same amout of miles. As AUH-BKK is getting cheaper you can make a good guess for AUH-MNL already. As the route is longer it will not be reduced in the same way as AUH-BKK. So there are three options : the mileage rate will slightly decrease, remain the same or increase... If you compare the difference in distance my guess is it will remain about the same or you will even need more miles.
