Have Velocity's reward charts become overly complicated?

[Mattg]

Until not long ago, Velocity had just three reward seat tables:

• VA domestic
• VA short-haul international, VS & UA
• All other partner airlines

Has anyone else noticed now how much more complicated Velocity's reward charts have become?

There's now:

• VA domestic
• VA short-haul international
• VA long-haul international to Middle East/Europe
• VA long-haul international to Africa, North America & other destinations
• VS & UA
• SQ, EY & QR
• All other partner airlines

With reward seat prices changing on 21 January 2025, there's also now two versions of every chart - but that's only a temporary thing.

For reference, you can see all the tables on this page of the Velocity website:

Is VA having its own "simpler and fairer" moment?

They asked their customers, and it's what they wanted... /s

It's even more complicated than that. I looked up BNE-SIN awards in oct/nov 2925 tonight. They have different award costs for the VA codeshares or the SQ flight number. But no way anyone in their right mind would get the award with the VA codeshare.
For same flights in Y SQ-29000 points. VA-102400 points.
In J-SQ-67000 points VA- 642000 points.

I wonder if these award charts will ever be used with the 30 days between QR releasing award seats and Velocity being able to book them, there seems little chance any Velocity users will ever grab a J seat between Aust. and Doha.
