Cheaper redemptions are welcome, though I'm still waiting for the new LH J rates. And still hoping for 50% rate for oneways.

The coming of family pooling is also OK.

I have to agree though, that these changes are more geared towards the 99%, but the 1% can also make use them
Let's assume I use one of the gold giveaways on Trav1970 Jr. There are four short haul vouchers that would come with that. A long haul J redemption would go from 100 000 to 150 000 points. I could of course get a long haul Y redemption for 90 000 points and use all four vouchers to upgrade one leg to business. I don't see how that is any kind of an improvement.
