i just received an email notifying me of the change as well (i had flights booked to/from EYW over thanksgiving using silver). i did not even think of the PQM that are going away - and i imagine the 100% 1K elite bonus. interestingly enough it says you still get 500 minimum miles for each flight. i am not going to cancel or change my plans because of this news, but its disappointing the change is happening. interestingly enough, it only affects Florida flights - not those out of IAD or CLE. makes me wonder what is next...
