This encourages and rewards Premium CC holders to keep using AC cards as they are still rewarded with MSBs (Threshold Gifts).
Seems like an inexpensive solution whereby people are selecting from a series of low priced gifts when compared to $2,000 and $4,000 GC's.
I sincerely hope AC revisits this.
That definitely won't happen. Half the marketing around the changes were "it's simpler - there's only one number".
