It would make sense that airline partners pay based on a set price per point redeemed..
But lets say, its a more complex itinerary, with 4 legs as opposed to a direct flight.. That would mean instead of getting 100% of the compensation on departure, the compensation for the departure would be split up into 4? or based on the number of miles flown?
