Down side is: Airlines will likely use high-density / lower premium cabin aircraft to Canada (as AF & LH did/do) to reduce premium capacity and maximize Y & PY revenue.
With the continuous J fares promotions out of YYZ, YUL and YVR, it is cheaper to buy revenue ticket than buying miles at 100% bonus and redeem them for J travel. Smart strategy
