I'm not surprised but at the same time I thought a change like this was a year or two off. That pot they put the frog into seems to be boiling right about now.
Not disagreeing that the change is bad for many, but you can still accrue points for buying the ticket, just as you can for buying the candy bar. You just don't get points for flying the ticket, just like you don't get points for eating the candy bar...
