Definitely complex arguments being tabled here, but we can also simplify the change.......
- Singapore Airlines no longer wants to accept our Amex Cash (aka points) so they have priced themselves out of the market
- Hawaiian and Qatar have said, yes, we are in and willing to accept your Amex cask (aka points)
- Amex has offset the loss of two of their previous partners with two new ones. I think this is Amex acting appropriately to retain value in our points accounts.
- I am assuming Singapore Air is looking to increase its reward seats for its direct earn customers by its action, so possibly a good move my them to reward their more loyal customers.
These are the same swings and roundabouts we have lived with for the last 30 odd years of this points game....... but plenty of value still to be had! I encourage you to keep playing the points game.
