If you click on link, it's both BE and Main awards on sale. The "starting at" mileage in email is BE, but Main awards are also discounted/on sale. I thought I saw discounted FC awards on flights as well, but looks like I was mistaken (C+ awards are also not on-sale from the looks of it).

The sample award mileage numbers on website are not always the lowest/sale levels. They list 40K/46K miles roundtrip for DTW-NAS for BE/Main during sale, but the sale levels on this route are actually 28K/34K roundtrip (before Amex discount). The 40K/46K mileage numbers are the non-sale cheapest award levels on DTW-NAS. After Amex discount, Main awards are 28.8K roundtrip for below. Revenue Main fares go for $668 roundtrip during sale period, So sale awards look to be in 2+ CPM range with 15% Amex discount.
