Just having a Quick Look at the changes, wow extensive. I’m on mobile though and I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to build out quite a spreadsheet to figure out how I will or won’t do.

There’s flexibility in the thresholds which might be nice for some, but it appears that the rollover game is dramatically reduced (10%?).

Oh well I need some people who have time to convert and forecast things to wake up and help me decide how I feel about this. There isn’t likely much upside or new benefit though from a first glance.

The new thresholds including a choice of eUps and PRs is interesting. I quite liked getting some of each naturally before.

That cap on credit card spend SDC is interesting. It will definitely significantly reduce my credit card spend on Aeroplan cards since why bother.

Edit: No more significant gift cards/points thresholds (at 300k/350s). That will slow a few people I know down from pushing to accumulate SQMs when they are close.
