Today, I see additional information which mentions three redemption values which change at the end of June, further devaluing points if used for hotels, cruises or hotel packages, The other options, such as gift cards, are already offered and have been available for a long while.

They can purchase gift cards at a deep discount, which is why they are upping the value when cardholders redeem for those options.

I do see this with cruises and packaged vacations, but not with prepaid hotel nights, which they buy at a substantial discount and which should not involve much hand-holding.

I haven't found any thread in regard to this:
My current statement has a page insert that says that I can "... learn about upcoming changes going into effect on June 28 by visiting www.membershiprewards ....". So far as I can find, the page that I am directed to has no information about changes coming June 28. Does anybody know what those changes are going to be?

I got the same notice and Amex shows me my points. I have to really look very hard to click on the various sections and then find the find print as has been listed in the other postings in this thread.
