Blue basic can't be booked with points

I searched the web and found no mention of this.

I'm trying to book a flight. Blue basic is available when booking with cash but disappears when switching to booking with points option.

Is this a bug or a hidden devaluation?

a couple of flights Ive been watching stayed the same in Basic or went up by $10, while the bookable fare with pts jumped over $30

I guess not allowing pts for a Basic fare is how B6 can devalue its program , ended up booking with AA since it was less miles then B6 pts needed and had better times that worked for me
