I'm stunned.
I just read an article this morning about how all travel loyalty programs are devaluing across the board because the industry is back up and the companies just don't need customers to stay like they used to, when they created the loyalty programs years back.
I think I may abandon all together and just start booking the cheapest Business class seats I can find, regardless of airline.
That's exactly what you should do. You can also downgrade or cancel your Reserve and let Amex know why.
