I think AS is shooting themselves in the foot. I was hoping for a good incentive to stick with AS/VX post merger. Being based out of EWR/PHL with lots of travel to OH, MI, KY, TN during the year, it will not make sense for me to go out of my way to fly them. I was hoping a more generous exchange rate would be used to entice me.

I am sitting on 150k elevate points and will have to just burn them in the near future.
