I'm seeing that too, though priority rewards (for an Ellite) are still 20000 (double 10000) instead of 15000.

This would be the second IT improvement in two days (discount codes now work for multi-segment itineraries). Hopefully the priority rewards is just something that needs to be accounted for and will follow.

And no fanfare from the Marketing Dept? Highly suspicious.

Wow, that's actually a nice improvement

Makes multi-city easier

Now we can use Aeroplan or Avios for one-ways

Looks like NA, Hawaii, Mexico and Caribbean. But not intercontinental. The one-way chart is not updated. So maybe it is just a glitch, soon to be fixed?

maybe they did it for those who need to do MR get fly revenue one-way and fly reward the other way.

I think it might be a gitch, just hope it is one that will stay long enough for me to actually try to take advantage of this time.

After fiddling around I now see/understand what the OP is saying....

That one way awards is now being charged at half the the return redemption rate, and not the higher rate of the one-way chart.

I am seeing this all the way into April next year.

Same as last year, this is a promotion, not a glitch. North American and sun destinations.

This promotion happened yesterday because Aeropeso mgmt heard the announcement of a Rough Rogue LCC. This time they want to be proactive to ward off competition, so they put up this promo for NA and Sun destinations.
