(Originally posted in the other thread. Removing that one and moving here.)

Surprisingly low earn IMO.

It's also the only program (?) where a dollar spent on lower fares is worth less than a dollar spent on premium fares. That is brutal.

Partner earnings also terrible...

I think it is pretty telling that the very first example on that page has $9k spent but only achieves 25K.

This is a massive devaluation dressed up in a needlessly complex suit. At least BA was honest about it, and also didnt punish Y flyers extra.

(EDIT: Also as someone who lives in Europe (i.e. Not Canada/US) this is extra terrible for me. I mainly only use my Canadian AC card for hotels/flights, and e.g. Uber only earns in Canada.)
