PS: Is it true that we cannot use the standard award redemptions on EY any longer? (At the old rates?)
Those aren't "real" airlines miles... so yes you will earn miles when flown - you can double dip whether you buy cash tickets or miles tickets through Intermiles.
0.50p seems like great value considering what I was getting earlier on JP. I think they might have slightly improved the redemption rate since they launched Intermiles.... but you will have to validate this with others.
For EY redemption - you will need to call them and see if their position has changed.
