Don't take that small quote out of context--it was only a piece referring to R inventory not equating somehow to J inventory for Priority Rewards/IKK.

We all know that doesn't equate 1:1 despite some people insisting that it does. In the past it was used as a very good rule of thumb to guess the chance of getting a priority reward and it worked well.

AC is looking into it. Let's give them the room to do it and see what gets kicked back to us.:-:

Then we can continue complaining bitterly (or not).

We all seem to agree that there is an issue here. AC is getting to the bottom of it. AFAIK there has been no change to the program to precipitate this so our best guess is an IT glitch. Perhaps that bidding for upgrade program, perhaps the program reset for 2017--who knows. Lots of room for speculation but nothing concrete other than J bookings domestically have virtually disappeared.
