Previously-earned points or miles should not be subject to devaluation, any more than a gift card for a department store. Ever. (In CA and other states, it is illegal for such a card to expire, no matter what it says.) Anything less just legalizes the sale of pigs in pokes.</font>
You're points are not expiring or being taken away their purchasing power is being eroded just like the $1 bill in your wallet. Why is this so hard to understand when month after month you continue to accept paper money, for pay and payment, that is backed by nothing but the promise of politicians?
