Just realized that the website also has this "typo":
"The Excursionist Perk is a free one-way award within select multi-city itineraries. Members who book a trip with three or more one-way awards can get the first award for free, if the trip meets all these conditions:"
I guess if they're going to basically eliminate the perk, you might as well book a O/Y/Y itinerary and get the first leg for free. Save the screenshot for documentation.
