Emirates probably raised their redemption costs. Whether that was overnight, we'll probably never know

This hit me worse than the AA deval.  Jeez..

ETA:  It doesn't look like their Twitter reps even realize what happened.

ETA2:  Andre is sharing a lot of concerns.. https://twitter.com/AlaskaAir/with_replies

This hit everybody worse. AA announced the devaluation many months in advance, so everybody had more then enough time to book whatever they needed.

+1. Easy for Emirates to do this since it's not part of an alliance. I wonder if it was specific to AS or across the board...

But this is only on one partner.  Plenty of other great AS redemption options.
