Wow, I can't believe what a bunch of whiners you people are. Its simple really, you pay more you get more and when it comes time to redeem, the more expensive your chosen flight is the more points it costs to fly free. Conversely, the cheaper the flight the less points required to fly free. Under the old system someone flying on a $69 fare was rewarded the same as someone flying on a $269 fare. Personally, that always bugged me.
Under the old system you weren't going anywhere free unless you had accumulated 16 credits in your account. Now, with the point system you can go as soon as you have enough points accumulated to pay your desired fare which could be even quicker than before if its a shorter, cheaper flight and you book a wanna getaway fare.
For those of you whining about A listers and business class peeps being rewarded better, why don't you step up to the plate and pay the higher fare or fly more often so you can also be an A lister? Then you can be treated just the same. I'm so sick of people in this country crying and feeling entitled....everyone should be treated the same...guess what, you are wrong! That is not how this country was built and that thought process is what is bringing this country down. Stop whining! You are being rewarded for your loyalty...sheesh! For the record, I'm not an A-lister and I never pay business select fares.
Work hard, play harder!
