I mean just like MOST negative changes to FF programs over the years, they probably should have made these their policies from the beginning, but didn't realize what monsters they were creating at the time.
• Anyone sign up for any "company" no matter how much you spend? Sure! Great idea!
• Give out miles for distance flown instead of fare paid? Right on!

Seems like its the inevitable clamping down on Biz Extraa but it was a nice ride while it lasted. My small co doesn't spend $5000 a year in air fare, so I'll redeem in late 2022 and be done with it.
