The day I hoped would never come...

"Beginning in late January 2014, the redemption process for your Travelocity Rewards American Express Card will be changing and will include exciting, new rewards opportunities".

"You'll soon be able to redeem points for statement credits..."

"Statement credits are just the beginning. You'll also be able to redeem points for gift cards and merchandise"

...I mean one could just take it at face value and ignore it and think, well, they also say "you'll be able to redeem your points for statement credits towards eligible Travelocity purchases - plus other rewards - at MyTravelocityRewards.com"

Going to do some more research but as someone with points in the mid 6 digits (believe me, redemptions were going to start happening this March) I have a feeling I'll be doing some very solid vacation planning over the next week.
