A devaluation is any change that makes points or miles worth less: higher award prices, removed award charts, new surcharges, weaker transfer ratios or cut benefits. Stories here state the old and new terms, the effective date and whether existing bookings are protected. The tag is applied when the sources describe a price or benefit getting worse.
