i am sure they knew earlier,they just keep cutting back the rewards as time goes on it seemed like.
i am actually quite happy because i am still at 12 thousand something points which will still get me a couple gift cards after some dinners. But i am not going to go out of my way to buy them,never really have cuz honestly not a big fan of them,except maybe the lean cusine lasagnia is good!! Soooo if anybody has a few pins (or 1,any will do ) i'd love to trade! Right now all i have is a few aeroplan codes to trade from nestle ice cream and chocolate bars, some coupons and maybe my lunchmate bucks i have been collecting,kind of tough to decide if i wanna give those up and start collecting them though,lol.
