I read that too. It's concerning to say the least. While I can see increasing miles to reflect that booking a vacation requires more support from customer service, I don't doubt that eventually all popular offerings will increase. I'm going to diligently work toward my last ticket and then decide if I want to continue with it all anymore. The current Disney ticket redemption is a very good use of miles and doesn't reflect any currency exchange. I can see that changing if they are looking to cut costs.http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/air-miles-devalue-points-rewards-1.3955506
Not too alarming and I was expecting some type of devaluation when the expiration plans were canned. Headline is "Air Miles quietly drops value of some points, angering collectors".
Looks like it's just vacation packages at this point:
"Air Miles told CBC News Friday that it adjusted the pricing for vacation packages because this is a "subsidized" rewards category requiring a higher level of customer support."
When the expiration policy was cancelled, they were clear something was going to change: "However, they may end up paying some kind of price down the road. To make up for the loss, the company plans to "adjust" its offerings to collectors, it stated in a financial disclosure filed Thursday."
