You think they'd double the value of everyone's point balance overnight? Have they done ANYTHING positive-value like that in the last, say, ten years?
They're halving everyone's point balance and halving redemption levels to make it more like a random MasterCard affinity card... 1,000 points = 1,000 miles, plus, of course, the extra redemption fee that regular MasterCards don't charge.
I hate those people.
