So book it. They have already said they will refund the difference for flights that cost less under the new rates and are booked after Feb 1, so unless you don't actually have 50K miles in your account then you're good to go.

Crazy how? They deliberately delayed it until a weekday - do you really think they would start charging the new rates at Midnight on that weekday? It largely defeats the purpose of moving it to the 3rd. 10am EST is only 9am in Chicago - give people time to get into the office, have their morning coffee, and then click the magic button.
