Thanks -- I found the sticky, although your direct link did not work.

The sticky says the number of points can be increased by up to 100 percent. I'm seeing almost 300%. I think this is absolutely disgraceful. In a revenue-based system, the redemption rate should never change on a fare class, yet alone by 300%!
