Thank you both for your responses, all the best
It is not you who is greedy.
The fact that the value of the business class seat on that flight dropped to coach+$410 does not mean that the it was not the price paid for the coach.
Those interpretations that miles, co-payment or even etc. is not the price or that it is generosity of the airline are sick. The market dictated the price - the fact that is was a bargain does not change it.
The argument of someone that the business class tix would be super expensive is preposterous - it was so expensive that nobody wanted to buy it, and the airline needed to drop its price to the +$410.
This is why they have to write the rules in which they say we can change them and only we can interpret them. It does not mean they are honest or moral or right. And the only reason for their existence is greed. They rather let that seat fly empty than give it to frequent flyers like it used to be on many airlines.
