If they gave you the 165,000, that is one RT biz class award just about anywhere in the world.
Or 2 RT economy.
Obviously too much in their mind.
If you are only earning 1/3 of what you used to in the mileage based program, I'd say that pretty much means you are a low spender who wouldn't typically get hit by the cap anyway. I'm missing your point. The appropriate comparison would be what one would earn without the cap vs. with the cap, not vs. the old mileage based program.
