What was it that i recall Dan recently saying about only long haul being devalued. So they devalue long haul and then do this. Wonderful.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

When these things happen is it an AMEX devaluation or BA devaluation? Meaning who initiates these things?

Your right, now that I think about it, it wasn't an aa devaluation, rather the market value went down due to all the account closures...

As in all crimes, look for who has motive :)

It devalues AmEx, not BA. My hunch, therefore, is it is not AmEx.

Well right at the start of the promo the market value was about 1.45 and now 1.1-1.2 IF you find someone to buy it.
