You're saying that in that scenario I'd lose half my points, right?
Try and use them on VX international partner flights - Virgin Australia is a great redemption since they removed the fuel surcharges, and Emirates is now better than AS following the devaluation. VS is still reasonable, but carries the same fuel surcharges as VS charge their own Flying Club members. Otherwise expect some more sales to Denver and Hawaii before the merger closes since they are new routes - good opportunity to maximize Elevate redemptions on VX.
