That was when demand was super low. With leisure demand SKY HIGH now and them trying to make business extra more revenue positive, not sure why they would offer it. It would seem the opposite of recent changes to the program. They needed it then to encourage more cash paying customers to buy and they had lots of empty seats then compared to now. I would be thrilled and happy, but doubt its gonna happen. I'd much more expect a points increase to happen more than a discount. Those awards have remained almost too good a deal tbh
