Guess history really does repeat itself.....
Oh - its probably a good time to reconsider Mileage Runs and delaying any big spend on your DL Amex for MQM and so on. I think I'm going to switch back to using the Amex MR card again. Usually I only do that after hitting the MQM max but at this point the value of MQM is suddenly a big question mark.
Oh yeah...

After all, they have already used that dodge once to their advantage.
Those of us who have been around long enough will remember the last wholesale devaluation of mileage accounts. We were told then that "Old miles will always be old miles."
That lasted a few years, and then "always" took on a different contextual meaning.
Perhaps they'll figure that it has been long enough that folks who lost on the Old Miles scam are either gone or have forgotten about it.
