Yep, the huge changes in loyalty programs, and particularly co-branded rewards cards, are gradually impacting everyone and the P&M bloggers won't be immune either. I see things only getting worse in the near future with perhaps WN style revenue-based redemptions at the legacy carriers and even more restrictive redemption policies. The wise ones will diversify and plan their transitions to have more breadth than just pumping credit cards and such.
