Ok, a well reasoned reply. So I apologise for my angry rant.

I do wish they'd get on with it though. I'd happily take advantage of the offers if I was getting a whiff of them, and I'm sure any number of NA EC members would feel much happier about the changes if we were getting plied with this sort of offer.

But we aren't, and your post is the first we've heard of it. Meanwhile AA is getting most of my spend. And while that isn't the dizzy heights of Merrydom, I'd still be getting about 3500 points this year on BA. As it is, I'm chasing EXP now...
