Wait for Distinction or book now?
This is what I can't figure out....
I'm traveling from Toronto to Paris in mid-May. Right now, there is a lot of reward availability. Is there any point to waiting until the January 1st Distinction benefits kick in? I am at the black level. I just can't wrap my head around what the difference will be, other than perhaps the flights not being available. Right now, the Classic plus YYZ-CDG required points are the same as the ClassicFlight points, so 35% from that would be significant...
Can anyone offer their advice? Wait for Distinction or book now? Thanks!

I assume you are looking at AC flights and you'll use 60k and circa $600. Terrible return given that flights at that time of year should be 850 during sale periods and there'll be plenty of those between now and may.
