I’ve just done the maths on the impact of the Amex Reward changes on my transfers to Singapore Airlines Krisflier. While the transfer rate has halved, earn rates have risen.

Sounds like you are on Gateway. I'm on ascent so my transfer rate is down by 50%. Impossible to swallow so I'm cancelling the cards after I transferred all my points out.

Agreed daft009, sadly seems like the management at Amex know it too and hence decided to devalue membership for the sake of their profits. Reminds me of the way the banks treat their customers, clearly a new direction for Amex.
