Just Noticed Rewards

Have been reduced significantly.  If you want to redeem points for gift card, the only options are $10 for 100 points or $150 for 1000 points.   They took away the $50 reward for 300 points.  It’s all quite disappointing.  

I have to wonder what the rationale is for cutting the rewards so drastically.  For my part, I am mostly riding for leisure now and not giving much thought to whether the station I take a bike from is  wither  pick up or drop off.  If I need to get someplace, I completely disregard whether I’ll get points or whether my boost will end.

This month is the first month in ages that I’ve never had enough points for a reward other than ebike minutes.  I’ve seen that others have not been deterred; occasionally I will see someone who is obviously a Bike Angel racing from time station to another to pick up and drop off bikes. God bless them.  I’m not working harder for fewer perks/benefits.  
This, of course, is all the fault of the renegade Bike Angels who made it their life’s mission to game the system.  Wonder what they’re doing now that the program has been eviscerated.
