Has anyone noticed that threshold rewards of eupgrades is going to drop in 2013?

Now: https://www.aircanada.com/en/aeropla...eupgrades.html

2013: http://www.aircanada.com/en/aeroplan...threshold.html

Highlights:
* Elites get 50% less eupgrades at 60K threshold
* SEs get about 20% less eupgrades
* 300K and 400K mile threshold is now 40 eupgrades rather than 30

I hope AC lowers the eupgrade requirements for 2013 too but I highly doubt it.

I don't like the drastic lowering of eupgrades. But I guess if you choose eupgrades for all your benefits in SE, you start off with 5 more than 2012.

Does this affect you?
