So a better good savings.

But why are ATC's so high
WS only seemed to have higher ATCs compared to AC when redeeming their WJDs. It boils down that they pass on more of the Carrier Surcharge (YQ) to the customer. (They also increased it after their revamp of the "enhanced" WS rewards program. Pretty sneaky.
