I am very saddened to read about the new travel package point values.
Along with the creation of Cat 8, I too wonder about the shift of hotels from one category to another.
I am sitting here trying to figure out if it's best to try and redeem points for one last low value package (250,000 cat 6 and 120000 miles) or to accept the new structure and know it will take longer for me to earn that same package after Jan. To redeem now, I would have to purchase 50000 pts in Dec 08 and again in Jan 09 which is $1250.00. The more I think about it, the more I feel like it's NOT worth it.
I have never exchanged my week for points and at this rate, I never will.
I know everyone is changing their rewards packages, but I think this is an extreme change. Far worst that the American Airline changes.
I am truly bummed. :annoyed:
