This same flight previously got me 27000 (13500+100% platinum bonus) miles. That's crazy.
you are correct that once the earnings rate changes that is what you will earn

I think that is is the point - that giving 27,000 points and 6,500 miles each way flight for $607 whilst someone else doing an expensive short flight might only get a couple of thousand points is crazy
