Just wanted to inform everyone about a mailing I just received about a major change in the redemption rates for the Orbitz Master Card. If you previously used the card, you could get a free flight valued at $400 for just 20,000 points. Discounts were to be had for other points amounts but I cannot recall the exact requirements. NEW rules effective 8/31/05 are:

10,000 points - $100 discount
20,000 - $200 discount
30,000 - $300 discount
40,000 - $400
50,000 - $500

Basically the benefits have been cut in half!! At least they are giving us till 8/31/05 to redeem at the old level! Looks like I will be claiming several 20,000 points free tickets before this takes effect.
