Agreed. Appears to be different marketing tactic. Still would not burn MR at 10 points to $1. Would rather transfer to Aeroplan points at 1:1 (plus bonus if offered). If one really wants to burn at 10:1 then suggest they pay fare using AMEX which will at least earn more MR and then later pay statement balance using MR. Still not good value.
