Not surprisingly these changes are not going down well with the majority of regular LY flyers (I'm not talking about Flyertalk where it seems obvious the majority of regulars on here are occasional ElAl flyers, and enthusiasts (a thread about a retro painted aircraft gets more responses than a major divaluation with their FF program...), but it also seems some TAs have raised concern over the new system. They claim that as the points accumulated are based on the actual fare not including any commission, the customer can very easily work out how much the TA actually added to their ticket price.
TBH this makes absolute sense to me, and makes it all a little more transparent, but I wonder how this works with other revenue based FF programs?
