Same with my account! I have been redeeming mainly for Iberia Avios, but I got that same email. As of yesterday, all airline options other than AA are gone

! But I can still get any hotel points I want.
BamaVol, those who are invited by an airline can normally redeem for all non-airline points but miles only of that airline, while those invited by a hotel co. are shut out of other hotels' points. I guess that we USAirways joiners just got lucky the past few years!
I have $19.xx of e-r, so I intend to hit $25, grab 500 AA, then quit!
