Suckers. The real pros keep them in a convertible currency, then open a new thread here every time the transfer is less than instantaneous.

Obviously they've never heard of flexible currencies, but, I'm not about to educate them.

Band B2 got increased from 10,000 to 12,500 not long ago, and it is now further increased to 13,000. The move is surely not welcomed. As for the decrease in Band A and B1, it is not as useful anyway when cash tickets are often not at high price.

information is mixed - are these the only changes, or will there be other unannounced changes?

This doesnt make sense to me. Are they tweaking the award chart, or just for redemptions out of HK? according to the website, their changes are written "To/From" HK. I went to look for an award chart on Here and it was nowhere to be found. Does an award chart still exist? I mean for us old heads, we have the old "award chart" memorized, but how come its not on the website anymore? And if it really is the case where only awards To/From Hong Kong are affected, what does that mean for said award chart? It'd grow pretty long wouldnt it?

And on the basis that say for example HKG-YVR is going to 84k to 88k in J , what if i redeemed BKK-HKG-YVR? which chart is correct then? because according to their update, only HKG-YVR is affected.

seems like no changes other than the published ones

But... The award chart has been removed from the website for over a year now :/

Someone summarised it here: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/points/M.1744659407.A.9E6.html

Looks like no other changes indeed. It's very acceptable in my opinion.
