Seems like it would be very difficult for Barclays to spin this change to current cardholders without at least one new/improved benefit to talk about...
There are positive changes, just not for anyone who knows how to properly use these points. Non-travel redemptions are now going to have a 5% rebate (instead of 0%) but they still retain the ½-cent value per point (compared to 1-cent value for travel redemptions).
