NooooooOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! NO NO NO!!! I can see where this is going already! The addition of "Choice" for Partner Awards means essentially means "Little to No Choice for Saver" as we have learned from Alaska's ever shrinking domestic Saver Award inventory. Alaska's Multiple Award Redemption Tiers = Highway Robbery! This is just another wily scheme to devalue our hard earned miles, this time in last and final area where they are still worth something, Partner Awards (sometimes, when you can find the inventory). Can you imagine how many miles they would ask for a Choice ticket to HK on Cathay? I shudder to think... I don't mind calling in multiple times or piecing together an itinerary over time, and I would love to be able to combine different carriers other than Alaska+1, but Choice for International Awards, I predict, will cause a Flyertalk Revolt against Alaska.
