I was going to say "I haven't received any notice", but it came in while I was distracted away from this thread.

I don't think it's the NUMBER of miles, but the PRICE.
If the airline wants $400 for a NA-Europe1 flight in J, and you're selling miles at 0.8 cents each, you're losing money.
If they charged their partners more for the miles, they wouldn't need to do this. Their desired profit seems pretty obvious looking at the value of gift cards and toasters. They want the same thing on flights.
As for the new Android app, I'm disappointed they don't have Google login
But other than that, it's actually quite nice. There are a few things I'd change (the app icon being the most obvious), but it seems to do its job fairly well. I may have to retire my app (or at least the Aeroplan component).
