All this silly speculation. I mean really how much can they do? It's pretty much gutted already so most of us are already numb.

I mean, we've always known that the credit card money is huge for them, but it's still a bit surprising to me to see them go all-in on them like this. Curious to see if it actually affects spending patterns. At least for me, I guess I'll run the numbers for my trips for next year and see if it's worth putting a few thousand $$$ on their credit cards to get to the next tier.
Edit: Per VFTW, all shopping portal miles count but any CC spend only counts as 1x? Jeez. Had I not forgotten to use it on a few large purchases I would have had >40k miles from the shopping portal alone this year. I better not forget to use it next year, lol.
