Let’s address the real issue with the airline systems. They cannot attract nor pay enough the IT talent needed to create and run a real-time system like theirs. Air Canada and Aeroplan, in particular, spent the money to rebuild their systems from the ground up in 2019/2020, but that technology talent has long left for greener pastures. The flyers are also getting smarter faster than the airline systems – thanks to all the other technology-enabled services they use – so the airlines must resort to “slowing things down”.
They have done so primarily by jacking up the AC metal reward miles, and now this round is for the partners. We’ll see how well it works. It’s always been a chase – like pressing one button or turning one knob but not knowing which other pressure system will blow.
Been booking more cash fares recently as I feel the rewards program has gone nuts.
Agree with David 💯 %
It’s called an award seat not game the system seat . It’s about time the freeloaders and professional beggars are checked . Revenue based status and hopefully an end to sign up bonuses all together will go a long way in returning “ loyalty “ programs to what they were intended to be .
Why? It’s capitalism. There’s clearly a need for this service and I’m 100% sure the courts will back up the consumer on this one.
I am glad that Star Alliance and Aeroplan are trying to block all these pay-to-find-seat and reward availability websites. Hopefully, websites will load faster for the average user. People doing all these searches slow down the system for everyone.
Well said.
