+1. It's not going to provide useful interim revenue - I would guess most people buy miles to top up an account to purchase a ticket or maybe an opportunistic purchase to buy a premium cabin saver. But few people are going to buy speculatively just to have cheap miles in their account for later. And even if they do, it's robbing peter to pay paul. This virus thing is going to be temporary - the only question is how long - and once it's over or mostly over people will go back to flying. The approach they have now of free changes makes sense - get people to buy tickets for the future even when there's uncertainty - that's a sensible way to keep generating revenue.
