Whatever CX wants to achieve (more Green members? bring back Y/PEY folks that left CX?), it could've been done by either lowering the threshold for Green renewal, or giving more points, but not both.
The changes won't change my flight choices. I travel for leisure mostly and will be close to Silver every year, but never have incentives to make a run for it.
This is exactly what I mean but much better worded.^
I can agree on the changes for the bottom fare class row (SNQ), but sweetening band 1-2 and ignoring long haul premium cabins is just puzzling. Well, since DI is unchanged and R is sweetened, does CX want me to buy R instead of DI to get my $ per CP's worth?
And I still feel sorry for those that do the marginalized routes like DXB and LAX.
