What's the rush? Won't the MM still be available after the bonus? So for those who want to buy refundable fares get miles for 1.2cpm, can't they do it later when there is less controversy? I mean theoretically you can get 100k miles for 1198 dollars, and then spend like a 100 bucks more and then go first class to north asia from na by doing this? What's hindering everyone and what's with the fuss about the 50% bonus, for those who are not actually flying?
